I think allegro 4.2.x should work on ARM devices. I built 4.2.0 or 4.2.1 some time ago and it worked fine except for 8-bit video modes (they had distortion because of improper alignment) and could not set fullscreen video mode. These problems have been fixed already. Unless they broke something recently, it should be fine.
