[PATCH] Fix arm-netbsd build error

And one more question -- since VFP 1 is deprecated (not even mentioned
on http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.dui0472j/chr1359124231926.html)
and your example codes don't include VFP 2, should I assume that
fpu_present implies VFP 3 and that VFPv3-D16 doesn't happen?

Thanks again,
Christian
