For some reason the "hg pull" command is doing so with a revision hash, 
as can be seen here
http://buildbot.pypy.org/builders/pypy-c-app-level-linux-armhf-v7/builds/765/steps/hg/logs/stdio
(search for "hg --verbose pull")
In my sources for buildbot, I could not a reason why "pull" is followed 
by --rev <revision>.
While buildbot claims it is running version 0.8.8 in the page footers, 
maybe someone modified the Mercurial class used by cobra's buildbot 
sources to add the --rev option to the build step?

In the meantime, I have a crontab set up to "hg pull" on the 
cubieboard-bob buildbot, it seems to have improved the situation for armhf
http://buildbot.pypy.org/summary?category=linux-armhf

Now if we could only _fix_ the failures before 2.6.1 ...
