Comment 4 for bug 735877

 http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=38957 seems relevant. See #c8 in that thread.

I think it's definitely not a compiler error but more of a package configuration issue. Either ubuntu had a local patch to change this to vfpv3-d16 or chromium did and someone dropped this patch ?
