Stricto sensu, this is not portable.
You can compile with Neon because you target Cortex CPUs, while at the same time you might deploy on some target without the Neon extension. A common Cortex CPU without Neon is the tegra.

What we do in Qt is using the hardware capabilities from the kernel to detect Neon at runtime (HWCAP_NEON).
