libwebp sets -mfpu=neon when autodetecting,
is there a similar problem with ffmpeg?

If we cannot trust the vfp autodetection, why can we trust that the 
autodetection of the vfp variant (vfpv2, vfpv3 or vfpv3-d16) and
the exact architecture (e.g. armv5te, armv6, armv6k or armv6t2)
are correct?

Which brings us back to the problem what the actual problem is (if any).
