I wonder if you could get back to the older kernel that was still
reporting armv6hf, would that then let you update the system by doing a
cross-build?

That may be the answer for others who haven't started on this yet.  If
you're building on an armv6hf system and you want to update, you may ha
ve to build and install with TARGET_ARCH=armv6, and it's going to be
treated like a full crossbuild (meaning an extra copy of clang gets
built, it'll take forever*2).
