verifying we're an ARMv8?

[faddah]

hi,

probably a dumb question, but just wanted to verify that per the hardware section on the CPU of the wiki, as well as the ARM description of their Cortex-A53 chip, that it is, indeed, and ARMv8 processor?

i ask because certain things you can compile ask which version of ARM you're compiling for — v6, v7, or v8?

thanks in advance.

best,
