ARM systems are so diverse that, unless you define a specific operating system, ABI plus floating point calling convention, and CPU type (see http://blog.alexrp.com/2014/02/18/android-hard-float-support... for a tangentially related example I found in a quick search), a binary either doesn't do you any good, or doesn't take advantage of the SIMD CPU features of your platform.

There is currently only working support for VFP hardware floating point in SBCL so the build options are reduced a bit. I think the only choice to make for a binary release would be whether to build against Debian, Ubuntu or something else.
