 > > The -mfpu=neon-fp16 is not supported by RTEMS as far as I know. If you
 want to add support for it, then please add a new multilib for this.
 > I did that, please see the attached file.

 The patch is too extensive from my point of view. Please send patches to
 devel at rtems.org.

 > For example, `-mfpu=neon` and `-mfpu=neon-vfpv3` are the same. Also
 `-march=armv7-a` and `-mcpu=cortex-a9` are very similar if not the same.

 I don't know the details of the cost models used by default on ARMv7-A and
 for Cortex-A9.
