Comment 42 for bug 383240

@Mans: yes, the shared build should have VFP enabled; our toolchain defaults to -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=softfp. The shared build passed configure with:
ARCH arm (armv6)
version string suffix 4:0.5+svn20090706-2ubuntu1~arm3
big-endian no
ARMv5TE enabled yes
ARMv6 enabled yes
ARMv6T2 enabled no
ARM VFP enabled yes
IWMMXT enabled no
NEON enabled no
gprof enabled no
debug symbols yes
strip symbols no
optimizations yes
static no
shared yes

But I'll include r19474 as you suggest and pass -mfloat-abi+-mfpu in the shared build too for clarity.
