Nope, the last version I tried was 31.4 (standard EL6). my notes say
that the error was:
Architecture-arm.cpp:101: error: 'HWCAP_VFPv4' was not declared in this
scope

FYI, I'm currently busy rebasing EL6 to upstream version 6.7
I'm getting close to the point (I hope) where I can start the bulk
build. I do however see that there are again more patches needed to get
it al  to work.
Notable exception: the kernel. It now creates without any patches a
kernel-headers  package :)
