Thank you for the insights.

My best guess is that those web browsers are being built on an actual armv7 
system (which naturally would be limited in available memory).  To my knowledge 
and at least so far from my experience, you can compile armv7 binaries on arm64 
and they should run without problems (as long as you configure the toolchain to 
build for armv7) with the standard toolchain built for the arm64 system in 
question (as arm64 is backwards compatible).

I understand if this is not something any of the maintainers would be 
interested in, but has the approach to use an arm64 system been considered for 
building armv7 binaries?  In theory, arm64 should also be able to build armv6 
binaries as well.

I recall building Chromium using the 'meta-browser' Yocto layer (maintained by 
O.S. Systems Software LTDA) on an x86_64 machine previously for armv7.  I do 
not know for certain if it used a chroot environment and/or did it just use a 
cross compiler toolchain though.
