MXNet Arm Cross Compilation Config and Dockerfile to build a relatively portable armv6 linux binary.

#  steps. Assume you are on the root directory of mxnet. First copy the this
#  file so that any local changes will be ignored by git
#
#  $ cp make/config.mk .
#
#  Next modify the according entries, and then compile by
#
#  $ make
#
#  or build in parallel with 8 threads
#
#  $ make -j8
