Well, --enable-fixed-point was a guess on my part.  The very fact
that this has taken at least 14 months (since the opus-1.1 update)
to be noticed indicates the level of interest in the arm platform.

There are a number of similar "if arm, then fixed-point" special
cases in the tree (e.g. mpg123, mplayer), dating back to when todd@
and robert@ used A/V ports on the Zaurus.

The --enable-fixed-point flag sets enable_float="no".  There is no
auto-detection.
