I suspect it depends on which optimizations are being enabled at -Og on each architecture. 
The "_uatomic_link_error()" trick indeed depends on the compiler optimizing away 
unreachable calls. 

If you really intend on using "-Og" on arm32, trying building with "-DUATOMIC_NO_LINK_ERROR". 
It should take care of making sure to generate an illegal instruction rather than rely on the linker 
error.
