Comment (by holin):

 I did a quick (in coding, not in building) port of the maint-8.0 branch to
 armhf. Can "make release-linux-arm" and the resulting package appears to
 work. Build time is huge on a 4-core 4 GB arm laptop, probably 30-40 hours
 or so.

 Some ugly amd64->armhf changes were required where something like a
 "native" arch would be a better solution.

 Rust build seems like something that's very shaky on 32-bit platforms in
 general, armhf included.

 Haven't checked yet how much could be merged with JeremyRand's work, but
 I'm sure quite a bit.

 Code at:
