Package: liboil
Version: 0.3.12-1

liboil tests for a powerpc FPU by compiling a test program with a
floating point instruction in it.  This doesn't seem to work.
Aurelien Jarno confirmed this:

14:09 <aurel32> the __asm__ directive passes the code directly to binutils
14:09 <aurel32> so the binary has the fadd instruction in it

So the program will compile fine and liboil will think there's a FPU
even if there isn't.  The binary will only fail at run time, i.e. when
you actually execute it.  This check therefore needs to be converted
to a runtime check.
