  This means ld.so (and what else? a skype binary should not come fully
statically linked) should be built with -march=armv5te? That is, common
denominator should be vfpv3-d16, ldrd/strd and thumb2 instruction set?
  AFAIK, for "user level", armv6 with vfp is effectively amv7 (sans armv7-r
that has a div instruction in thumb mode).

  Well, I said I was sorry for more bikeshedding :-)
