Synopsis: devel/liboil tries to use ARM FP instructions

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: maya%NetBSD.org@localhost

State-Changed-Why:
This package will never use vfp instructions on netbsd/arm, because it relies on /proc/cpuinfo to check for vfp availability and netbsd/arm doesn't provide this info there AFAIK. It would be good to make the package compile the vfp code whenever it thinks it's possible, as it only enables it when passing a runtime check. It looks like upstream has implemented this change - the code is all depending on
#if defined(__VFP_FP__) && !defined(__SOFTFP__)
I am closing this bug rather than putting in feedback because it's a very old bug report that is likely fixed. If you are still having issues, feel free to make a new bug report.
