Thanks for looking into this promptly. I see you already uploaded
a fixed version to unstable. Some food for thought below.

Well I simply compiled pulseaudio without the debian/rules setting and 
built. Previously pulseaudio would FTBFS without the line. Looking
closer, the pa now has a configure check:

checking support for required armv6 instructions... no

so HAVE_ARMV6 is not set, and I think the file will end up empty
even if compiled with workaround. from my POV, armv6 hardware
is rare enough (except for rasberry py, where you should use raspbian),
so keeping the workaround is not strictly neccesary.

The alternative would be to fix it properly in the configure.ac, by adding
ARMV6_CFLAGS="-marmv6" in case the the configure check for armv6
instructions fails to compile without it.
