I think it will be more effective if we tested most used configuration instead, it would help a larger community. GCC 7 also dropped armv5 ( the t variants are still supported )

I would think keep the name qemuarm but use armv7 based machine to emulate would be an option I am sure meta Linaro has some work on this that can be used in oe core 


I would also assume they've got some work on this, it'd be nice to contact them and see if this can be done, although I asked on IRC several times to see what people thoughts were on if we should upgrade and I practically got no feedback.
