arm architecture is missing is file drivers/tap/tap_bpf.h
I suggest adding it, for example
# elif defined(__arm__)
# define __NR_bpf 386
It should work for you. Can you please try it?
If it doesn't work for you, please have a look in this link:
https://sourceforge.net/p/predef/wiki/Architectures/
where you can see more arm architecture definitions.
You should find the one suitable for you.

I suggest fixing the compilation issue by adding the missing architecture system call number
(as suggested above) instead of disabling TAP compilation by default
