The only armel/armsfp RPM-based distribution I know of is Mageia
(since Pignus is apparently not one). Their Mageia 6 release has an
armv5tl flavor in addition to the standard armv7hl flavor.

I think that armsfp is basically dead in most distributions, in part
due to the abundance of armhfp hardware replacing the old armsfp
stuff.
