Have you heard of RedSleeve? We've had an EL6 build for armv5tel for years now. All the patches that were required are on the wiki.
I think this misses the point of doing the build as a CentOS community initiative. I'm actually quite happy to see Howard's post here, as I'm doing a bit of prep to begin a similar build for aarch64 based hardware.
Since Howard's documented a fairly thorough, reproducible, and open procedure in his mail, I would like to support this approach as the 'community standard' way to build, or contribute to the build for armv7h1 within the CentOS community structure.
We have an elpha build of EL7 for armv5tel, bootstrapped via F18, if you would like to take it for a spin, but we haven't touched the branding yet so the release packages aren't available but you should be able to presuade rpm to build a chroot without it using --nodeps.
Ideally, this should stay a CentOS focused community build. This doesn't prevent or preclude RedSleeve or anyone else from doing what they're doing. Collaboration is certainly welcome.
