There are actually two FP architectures for ARM, FPA (old) and VFP
(new), zero or one of which may be available in a specific
implementation.  It is OK to mix hardware and software implementations
of the same architecture in a build.  You didn't mention which ARM
chip you're using, so I can't say what's available on yours.  What's
in your /proc/cpuinfo?

H.263 decoding doesn't use floating point, so this working doesn't
contradict the theory that mismatched FP is behind the problem.
