When NEON is enabled they seem to be necessary full stop.
I got various compilation errors in FFmpeg without them.
It's possible they increase the build environment requirements
for systems without NEON, but it feels like the case of
ARM CPU without NEON + weird/heavily outdated toolchain
is something we can handle when it comes up.
