So I found [1] what appears to be the correct flags and set these:

cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING="-march=armv6 -mfpu=vfp
-mfloat-abi=hard" -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS:STRING="-march=armv6 -mfpu=vfp
-mfloat-abi=hard" ../

But now the build fails even earlier with gnuradio-core:

Which IIRC is around where it was failing when I did not set any flags
at all with Cmake.
