The problem is (was?) the armv6/armv7 bits used a specific KERNCONF for
each SoC, which made it somewhat impossible to guarantee that
distribution sets would "just work".  As I understand it now, this is no
longer an issue.

However, the release/Makefile has no real knowledge of how to build
a release for armv7; the build is done using release.sh and a specific
configuration file for each board.

If the previous comment regarding KERNCONF is indeed no longer an issue,
I will be happy to work with you on creating these distribution sets.

Glen
