Indeed, that's not a CPU, and even if it was looking for Arch, the correct
form is "armv7a".

I suppose this comes from GCC. You can ignore, I guess.

I agree with your analysis.


To sum up, would it be possible to run the scan-build utility on a kernel

I can't see why not, I don't think the analyser is platform-specific. But
you have to make it run, which it'll need the right options and not bail
while still in the command-line options.

AFAIK, "androideabi" is not recognized (or has no effect), but this should
at least get you close to "gnueabi" soft-float.

Try ARCH=armv7a CROSS_COMPILE="armv7a-linux-androideabi" to force the CPU
to Cortex-A8.
