Sorry to leave you confused, but you are not right, the Qt ARMv7 is not missconfigured.
I suppose you know that the ARMv7 architecture covers the ARM Cortex-A, ARM Cortex-M, ARM Cortex-R families. Each family support Thumb-2 instruction set, and Cortex-A and Cortex-R support ARM instruction set.
The Qt ARMv7 bot is using the following architecture specific compiler options:
-marm -mcpu=cortex-a8 -mfloat-abi=softfp -mfpu=vfpv3-d16
So the QT ARMv7 buildbot tests the ARMv7 architecture (Cortex-A8).

I think the main confusion is between the name of ARMAssembler and ARMv7Assembler rather instead of name of buildbot. In 2009 Anno Domini I suggested to use ARM* and Thumb2* prefixes for the two different assemblers. I still think these or similar names will describe better the differences.

So, I close this bug.
