title: Enable NEON on Cortex A8 with fpu set to either SoftVFP or none
body: <p>I am trying to build an executable for Cortex A8 using RVDS 4.0. My code uses NEON but I want to set fpu option to either none or SoftVFP. The ARM website mentions that NEON is disabled when fpu is set to SoftVFP. Is this because VFP and NEON share registers?</p>
  
  <p>Can some one please explain why I can not use NEON when fpu is set to SoftVFP or if there is any option through which I can enable NEON even when fpu is set to SOftVFP?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
