Yes.  We have a Beagleboard (x15.sjd.se), which is set up for 2 parallel
builds and we use the Qemu service on 5 of our x86_64 machines to build
for armhf.  (We do the same for aarch64, but using 5 different nodes.)

“nss” failed its tests when built on x15.sjd.se, but it worked fine when
building on one of the Overdrives.
