Bug#947246: nss FTBFS on armel: error "NEON intrinsics not available with the soft-float ABI. Please use -mfloat-abi=softfp or -mfloat-abi=hard"
Source: nss
Version: 2:3.47-1
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs
Justification: armel still is a release architecture
User: helmutg@debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap
Since 2:3.47-1, nss fails to build from source on armel (it also fails
to cross build to armel):

Given that 3.45 still built on armel, this is an rc bug. Also note that
nss is required for bootstrapping architectures, so armel is not
currently bootstrappable.
