With these obvious issues, no one is even compiling these, let alone
testing qemuarmv5.  And these issues have probably been around for
months.  Even after getting all of these issues addressed, qemuarmv5
is still failing testimage.  Honestly, it should be dropped since it's
not really being used.  If you are only worried about compiling, there
are other machines in other layers that can be used for this.

These can be dropped if they are problematic.  I haven't heard they
are forbidden.
