Grepped around a bit and there are some recipes: most prominent are
firefox / chromium and V8 derived as qtwebengine / some recipes in
meta-netwoerking. / libreoffice

I bet there workarounds for those recipes possible but if Alex can add
some configuration it would save at us trouble/efforts.

Still am not convinced that armv7 was kicked out by intention. Am no
expert but what hardware do moz-people have in mind when writing in
their Makefile:

ifeq ($(CPU_ARCH),arm)
$(OBJDIR)/$(PROG_PREFIX)aes-armv8$(OBJ_SUFFIX): CFLAGS +=
-march=armv8-a -mfpu=crypto-neon-fp-armv8
$(OBJDIR)/$(PROG_PREFIX)gcm-arm32-neon$(OBJ_SUFFIX): CFLAGS += -mfpu=neon
endif

Maybe I should ask ask them...
