-Subject: [PATCH] Build NEON code with -mfpu=neon
-
-The ARM-specific NEON code needs to be built with -mfpu=neon to avoid
-build failures when a difference FPU is used by default by the
-compiler.
-
-Fixes issue #54.

-Subject: [PATCH] Check for run-time NEON support by reading /proc/cpuinfo
-
-Less than ideal since documentations warn it may not list 'neon' even if it's
-really supported. However, the "proper" APIs to check for NEON extensions don't
-seem to exist in my toolchain.

-Subject: [PATCH] Fix detection of C11 atomics
-
-Currently, the CMakeLists.txt logic to detect the availability of C11
-atomics is based on building a small program that uses the
-atomic_load().
-
-However, atomic_load() does not need to use any function from
-libatomic (part of the gcc runtime). So even if libatomic is missing,
-this test concludes that C11 atomic support is available. For example
-on SPARC, the example program builds fine without linking to
-libatomic, but calling other functions of the atomic_*() APIs fail
-without linking to libatomic.
-
-So, this patch adjusts the CMakeLists.txt test to use a function that
-is known to require the libatomic run-time library (on architectures
-where it is needed). This way, openal will only use the __atomic_*()
-built-ins when they are actually functional.
