There was one significant issue preventing use of lld for armv7 - it was not handling float type flags in the ELF header. This was just fixed upstream, and I brought the change into FreeBSD in r336972. I believe we're now ready to enable LLD_BOOTSTRAP by default for armv7, and have posted the patch in review D16528[1] for comments/feedback.
