Let me know if there are any outstanding issues regarding armeb and I'll look into them.
To keep it in working shape, it would help a lot with additional tests in .gitlab-ci. I'm not really familiar with the cross setup used for arm, mips, and aarch64, Nikos helped with all that. But maybe armeb can be added in the same way?
That's exactly the rabbithole I went down and got lost in the last time: armeb is so niche that I'm not aware of any ready-to-install mainstream distribution for it. I am running Gentoo but that's not easy to maintain in a CI setting. I got a Debian-based qemu-user-binfmt_misc-based image working but that was very brittle as well because in the end it also needed to bootstrap the necessary components from source. So as it stands I cannot offer any improved CI for armeb that's maintainable with reasonable effort.
On the other hand: The armeb asm changes (for the most part) are so symmetric that any breakage would likely affect both armeb and armel.
