what we (in secondary arches) primarily need is the decision how to
proceed - incremental rebuild over 3.4 or complete rebootstrap.
Naturally we prefer the complete rebootstrap as it allows bringing up
new arches. And because we are in no way Mono experts, we would
appreciate the procedure how to do the bootstrap (eg. in form of a
srpm). If needed we can give you access to the various secondary arch
machines. Copr can't help here unfortunately.

AFAIK Fedora devels/packagers (people with FAS accounts) can access
some shared Fedora ARM machines.
