Hi Everyone, I'm investigating a failed build for ARMEL. I don't have access to the build machine so I have to study the logs or ask our package maintainer to run commands for us.
The build log is at https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=libcrypto%2B%2B&suite=experimental (package) and https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=libcrypto%2B%2B&arch=armel&ver=8.1.0-1&stamp=1551251751&raw=0 (ARMEL). We have tried to use -mfpu=neon and -mfloat-abi=softfp or -mfloat-abi=hard for the NEON specific files but both produce compile failures. "NEON specific files" are ones with the name *_simd.cpp, like aria_simd.cpp. I test the build locally with about 6 ARM dev-boards and have not encountered the problem. However, all of the dev-board are hard float machines. My question is, is it possible to use the NEON unit when building with ARMEL? If so, then how do we do it?
