Are you sure it is ok to modify the default behavior of FPXXDefault only
for Debian clang packages (this could lead to surprise and hard to track
bugs for users) ?

To me it makes more sense to:

1) either submit this patch upstream, so that every clang distribution
has the same common behavior regarding FPXX

2) change the default flags used when building mips/mipsel packages, and
keep the default clang behavior.

Could you please clarify this issue ?

Thanks !

Pablo
