I've noticed some of the randconfigs are failing due to trying to mix
VFP and FPA objects together, which causes the linker to complain.

I thought about adding -Wa,-mfpu=softvfp, but this overrides your
-mfpu=neon resulting in the neon code failing to build.  -mfpu=softvfp
doesn't work because GCC and binutils don't take the same -mfpu=
option names (GCC rejects softvfp, whereas the assembler accepts it.)

This only happens when AEABI is not selected, so I think the only
solution to this is to make KERNEL_MODE_NEON depend on AEABI - and
this is what I've committed to my tree today.
