ARM_HAVE_VFP isn't suitable for use in #if; see the 
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm/arm-features.h definition.  You need either a 
new macro meaning "VFP is known at compile time to be available", or to 
move to checks with "if" inside the functions.

(The case of a soft-float build, VFP hardware available at runtime - the 
one addressed by "if" conditionals - has other problems with exceptions 
and rounding modes, that I think would best be addressed by use of IFUNCs 
in libgcc for the relevant RTABI functions; see bug 10064.  Anyway, the 
present patch is purely an optimization, so there's certainly no need for 
it to cover all cases as long as it doesn't break them.)
