Cool!

What is the plan for reconciling the differences?

A few packages stand out as being particularly concerning:

gcc: There are patches in the armv7hl build that affect volatile 
bitfields and memory consumption.  The lack of the volatile bitfield 
patch may result in a few broken packages on armv5tel while the absence 
of the memory consumption patch may result in some packages failing to 
build.

glibc: Both have arm patches, but are they the same patches?

rpm: Special armv7hl handling was required.  Is this as upstream 
acceptable as it's going to be for the foreseeable future?
