As I understand it now, this is no longer an issue. However, the release/Makefile has no real knowledge of how to build a release for armv7; the build is done using release.sh and a specific configuration file for each board. If the previous comment regarding KERNCONF is indeed no longer an issue, I will be happy to work with you on creating these distribution sets.
