We should provide them, if possible. As for failing builds on arm architectures it probably does not make sense to push for ARM NEON on armel as it targets hardware with no float acceleration. Debian's target on armel is --with-arch=armv5te --with-float=soft. On the other hand the armhf arch on Debian is specifically targeting hardware with float acceleration. Default target is --with-arch=armv7-a --with-fpu=vfpv3-d16 --with-float=hard. NEON is more likely to be available on this one. NEON is safely available on arm64, aarch64-linux-gnu See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture#Advanced_SIMD_(NEON) for more info. Milan
