Yes, there are various degrees of those, but most of them should be
FPU-less.  So FPU-emulation details would be interesting.

In case of Linux there are 3 variants:

NWFPE: default

FastFPE: only 32-bit mantissa, 4-8x faster than NWFPE

gcc -msoft-float: no FP instructions, direct calls.  Thischanges calling convention, so requires that allcode is
compiledwith this.
 

Jim, do you happen to use FastFPE?
