I was digging around this but got confused, since I am not familiar with asm.

I commented out the declaration of __flt_rounds() in
/usr/include/float.h and the compilation of pixman worked. Well,
except there were still warnings complained about redefinitions like
above. I'd like to ask if the questions are not too trivial:
- is it ok to include .h from a .S file and having function
declarations in .h files? It does not seem to work in this case.
- shall we disable neon instructions for all ports before hardfloat is
available, since neon depends on VFP? Or disable them all before
additional armv7 support is available?
