Our ARM chip don't support the NEON instruction, can you supply a non-NEON instruction SUSE copy?
openSUSE doesn't support soft-float ARM configurations.
It's still hard-float, but without NEON.
We used to have builds that worked fine without NEON, as Tegra 2 lacked support for it. But the Tegra 2 was a non-ARM implementation, while this chip should hopefully be ARM Cortex based.
Are you 100% sure that there is no NEON support on that chip?
If yes, we can try to revive compatibility with non-NEON-compatible cores, but I'm not incredibly fond of the idea, since all ARM Cortex cores should have NEON support.
Ummm... Didn't all the distros agree on VFP3-D16 (i.e. hard-float, non-NEON) as the baseline for cross-distro compatibility for the ARM hard-float ports?
