+Subject: [PATCH] Prevent the NEON check in configure from passing under
+ aarch64.
+
+The test verifies that the NEON C intrinsics work, but the rest of the
+codebase uses lots of direct ARMv7 NEON assembly. The same intrinsics
+work in A64, but the assembly is slightly different.
+
+Prevent the check from passing so that we don't use this where it won't
+work.
+
+Patch originally by William Grant <wgrant@ubuntu.com>
