Some of the ARM functions differed from their generic counterparts only by unrolling their loops. Since this change may be useful on other platforms, or might even supercede the looped version in the generic case, move it back to the generic file. This code is left under #if ARCH_ARM for now, but it may be worth considering a different (possibly new) conditional for these. If it turns out that this should be runtime selectable, these functions will have to move to the RTCD infrastructure. Don't want to take that step at this time without more profile data.

vpx Multi-Format Codec SDK
README - 19 May 2010
Welcome to the WebM VP8 Codec SDK!
COMPILING THE APPLICATIONS/LIBRARIES:
The build system used is similar to autotools. Building generally consists of
"configuring" with your desired build options, then using GNU make to build
the application.
1. Prerequisites
* All x86 targets require the Yasm[1] assembler be installed.
* All Windows builds require that Cygwin[2] be installed.
* Building the documentation requires PHP[3] and Doxygen[4]. If you do not
have these packages, you must pass --disable-install-docs to the
configure script.

2. Out-of-tree builds
Out of tree builds are a supported method of building the application. For
an out of tree build, the source tree is kept separate from the object
files produced during compilation. For instance:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../libvpx/configure <options>
$ make
3. Configuration options
The 'configure' script supports a number of options. The --help option can be
used to get a list of supported options:
$ ../libvpx/configure --help
4. Cross development
For cross development, the most notable option is the --target option. The
most up-to-date list of supported targets can be found at the bottom of the
--help output of the configure script. As of this writing, the list of
available targets is:
armv5te-linux-rvct
armv5te-linux-gcc
armv5te-symbian-gcc
armv5te-wince-vs8
armv6-darwin-gcc

generic-gnu
The generic-gnu target, in conjunction with the CROSS environment variable,
can be used to cross compile architectures that aren't explicitly listed, if
the toolchain is a cross GNU (gcc/binutils) toolchain. Other POSIX toolchains
will likely work as well. For instance, to build using the mipsel-linux-uclibc
toolchain, the following command could be used (note, POSIX SH syntax, adapt
to your shell as necessary):
$ CROSS=mipsel-linux-uclibc- ../libvpx/configure
In addition, the executables to be invoked can be overridden by specifying the
environment variables: CC, AR, LD, AS, STRIP, NM. Additional flags can be
passed to these executables with CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, and ASFLAGS.
5. Configuration errors
If the configuration step fails, the first step is to look in the error log.
This defaults to config.err. This should give a good indication of what went
wrong. If not, contact us for support.
