Just as a heads up, I believe the FreeBSD folks went through this with
their ARMv8 support and looking up the notes on their wiki, indeed,
emacs was the fallout.

The GNU bug report claims that it is fixed in 26.1
So, unless someone want to compile an old emacs, it do not seem like
an issue anymore :-)
Actually, since emacs is a religion, quite a number of people seem to
hold onto specific old versions of emacs.
IIRC it was not a problem to run Emacs, it was a problem to compile it.
So if the user want to compile an old Emacs, COMPAT_80 or so must be
added to the kernel.
