Comment 17 for bug 664431

could someone point to the matching commit so we can see the impact ?

i dont think we actually care in which way neon is disabled on platforms that dont support it as long as you dont get a SIGILL for all QT apps you try to start.
platforms that support NEON will indeed benefit from it but we made a commitment that nothing in the archive is built with NEON for maverick.

it is not acceptable to build QT with NEON statically enabled at build time, i think its a good compromise to use runtime detection if it:
a) gets enough testing so we are confident it doesnt add additional regression
and
b) the patch is small enough
