Title: Shouldn't use SIGILL to detect NEON Status in x264 package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: x264 Hey x264 currently uses SIGILL to test for support of NEON (and other features, on non-armel arch too); according to Dave Martin we need to disable the the "fast NEON MRC" test as """ this performance counter based test may not be safe across all platforms, and won't reliably give the right answer even where it doesn't SIGILL— it also requires a patched kernel; so we probably don't want it enabled in Ubuntu (unless we can use some other decision route like identifying the CPU from the contents of /proc/cpuinfo. I haven't attempted this for now.)
