Hi,
if applications need to be machine / hardware specific they can
indicate so by setting PACKAGE_ARCH.
For example I use it for recipes that build different when other
machine dependent packages are used by them:
kde-workspace can use the OpenGL ES driver which is machine dependent
so if it is used I set PACKAGE_ARCH = "${MACHINE_ARCH}".
AFAIK the vfp-neon arch indicates that the package uses hard float (or
"vector floating point") libraries instead of soft float.
See mfloat-abi at http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/ARM-Options.html
