Yes, especially know where the gcc and associated build chain are very
similar in F-16 and F-15 (ie gcc 4.6.x based) but that may change in
the 17 cycle so the sooner we start building the quicker we can get in
lock step with mainline. F-16 dev is winding down, very soon F-17 will
be ramping up.

I suspect very few, there's only about 100 odd there so it shouldn't
take long to get them upstreamed.

One question I have looking at a number of the spec patches... why is
in most cases is "armv7hl" uses as the arch instead of %{arm} ?
