+\subsection build_instructions_unix_arm Compiling for ARM platforms

+When compiling for ARM platforms, the assumption is made that NEON extensions
+are available if the arm_neon.h header is found. However, this might not be
+true, e.g., when cross-compiling for an arm7l target (e.g., the Odroid XU4)
+using a standard SDK. In this case, it's necessary to tell CMake to disable NEON
+extensions:
