Bug Description

Some ARM processors support vector floating point, which can cause significant improvements in the performance of floating point code. As this must be selected at compile-time, with the -mfpu=vfp CFLAG, this requires a special build.

For performance reasons on such hardware, please enable such a build for cairo for jaunty.

I don't think this change is appropriate for either a post-RC update or an SRU; dropping the milestone and the release target.
