For purely building armhf code, Odroid XU4 might be a good choice:

http://www.hardkernel.com/main/main.php 
<http://www.hardkernel.com/main/main.php>

This is an Octacore processor with 4 CortexA15 and 4 CortexA7 processors. I 
don’t know how good their kernel/debian support is, but I know Robert had 
looked at this board or a predecessor in the past, so perhaps he can give his 
input here.

Clearly this board doesn’t have the flexibility of the BeagleBoard-x15 with 
it’s dual DSP, Dual CortexM4, Quad PRU, SATA interface, PCIe interface, etc. 

Regards,
John
