Could the targeted CPU be used in the name? Ie, armelv7. FWIW, I've benchmarked a VFP libm to run benchmarks like whetstone 4x faster than regular armel libm. A VFP Mesa can speed up glxgears by nearly 2x on some hardware. It would be handy to have VFP versions of such targeted libraries. In general though VFP is not worth it. -- see shy jo
