Yes, at the commit pointed by the URL in your previous mail the line had a grep neon-vfpv4 appended:

AVAILTUNES=`grep '^AVAILTUNES=' ${TUNE_TEST_DIR}/env.${M} | sed 's/^[^"]*"\([^"]*\)"/\1/g' | tr ' ' '\n' | grep "\(neon-vfpv4\)"`;

I did some more digging and that divergence seems to be caused by the following line in arch-armv7a.inc:

PACKAGE_EXTRA_ARCHS_tune-armv7athf            = "${PACKAGE_EXTRA_ARCHS_tune-armv6thf} armv7ahf-vfp armv7at2hf-vfp" 

Shouldn't it be the following: (add a t for thumb)?

PACKAGE_EXTRA_ARCHS_tune-armv7athf            = "${PACKAGE_EXTRA_ARCHS_tune-armv6thf} armv7athf-vfp armv7at2hf-vfp" 

The same applies to other armv7athf tunes like armv7athf-vfpv3d16, they all seem to be missing a t.
