Debian armel userland can be run on any device, so it is suggested to
better rely on toolchain configuration rather than kernel config
symbols.
For arm-gnueabi(hf) toolchain something like:
$ gcc -dumpspecs | grep multilib_defaults -A2 | grep -q soft && echo
"This is armel"
$ gcc -dumpspecs | grep multilib_defaults -A2 | grep -q hard && echo
"This is armhf"
could be checked instead.
