Is NEON guaranteed on Ubuntu armhf installations in general?  If so, I might
want to think about an alternative (and admittedly messier) solution that would
let it autodetect NEON there, but solve the specific FTBFS reason, which is
that the configure step shouldn't be permitting NEON + double precision in the
same build.
