If the architecture is armhf that's hardfloat and requires a minimum of 
armv5. armel is softfloat and can run on arm7tdmi (armv4).

Find any local binary like /bin/ls and do an ld on it. It links to an ld 
library with armel or armhf in the name.

You'll find armel libraries in there too along with armhf ld libraries, but 
MOST of the binaries will be armhf. For armel platforms you'll only see 
armel (or the even older arm)
