Dennis and Panu can explain neon if anyone really cares, or I will be
online later at some point. But it's not really an issue from an ABI
point of view. The issue is hardfp vs. non-hardfp and in more general
handling within RPM for multi-ABI. I like that term, multi-ABI. I think
I'll take out a trademark ;)
