According to

https://developer.arm.com/documentation/dui0231/b/arm-instruction-reference/coprocessor-instructions/mrrc-and-mrrc2?lang=en

"MRRC is available in ARMv6 and above, and E variants of ARMv5
excluding xP variants". I'm not entire sure what "xP variants"
means, but we do build for ARMv5E, so I think this is actually
correct.
