The main problem with Rust ports on armv7 is that many of them have
LLVM run into address space exhaustions, probably due to trying to
build programs with LTO.  It's hard to diagnose these issues.

There are also a number of recurring portability problems due to
time_t not being a long on armv7, but these are easy to patch.

Yours,
