So, recent versions of fftw have NEON support for the single precision

armv7a case. Now, this is not entirely correct, since some armv7a's lack
a NEON coprocessor.

Does anyone have a suggestion for how to handle this better? Personally,
I think if you want to run fftwf without NEON, you should have your head
examined, but I would like to avoid generating packages that SIGILL on
people.

This says to me that either you need a machine specific package, or use an alternative architecture for that package.. (that is compatible).. then the package can switch neon on/off depending on arch of tuning flags.

There is an armv7a-neon tuning defined. This enabled the TUNE_FEATURES of 'neon'. So you should be able to check for that in the fftw recipe, and enable the --enable-neon when it's set. (Using PACKAGECONFIG is likely best...)

Then you can change the DEFAULTTUNE_<recipe> = "armv7-neon" in your local.conf.
