 #if 0 at the obvious places in liboil/arm/*vfp*[cS] makes it compile;
 I'll tell you in a couple of days when the compilation has finished
 whether gnash works with that.
 
 A certain gentleman told me privately that using the generic coprocessor
 opcodes instead would have worked, but this requires lots of ARM ARM
 reading and editing, and - hopefully - the library won't try to actually
 use the vfp routines on my Shark.
 
 The assembler file holds some instructions with very specific
 compiler flags to use; so probably the package just needs some work
 on the Makefile.* in there to make it use the right flags.
