I currently can't get the git code (download at 8k/s), so I checked
the 4.7.0 release tarball and this commit doesn't seems to be
included:
"""
$ vim qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.0/src/corelib/tools/qsimd.cpp
---
#elif defined(QT_HAVE_IWMMXT)
// runtime detection only available when running as a previlegied process
static const bool doIWMMXT = !qgetenv("QT_NO_IWMMXT").toInt();
features = doIWMMXT ? IWMMXT : 0;
return features;
#elif defined(QT_HAVE_NEON)
static const bool doNEON = !qgetenv("QT_NO_NEON").toInt();
features = doNEON ? NEON : 0;
return features;
"""
Will backport it and create a proper package to be tested, once I can
download the sources.
