The armv5 and armv6 architectures are not supported.  (grep "armv[56]" /proc/cpuinfo)
The hardware is deficient because it does not provide reasonable support for threads.
If you are highly motivated then the bug tracker contains patches which enabled
support a couple years ago for armv5 for single-threaded memcheck only.

armv7 is the minimum supported hardware.  A RaspberryPi works very well,
especially B+ version 2 with 1GiB RAM.
