Ah, bummer. It has an e500v2 core, which has "embedded" floating point 
support, whatever that means. It does not include fp instructions that 
require floating-point registers (FPRs). The instructions work on the 
GPRs instead?

Is it just startup code, or many places that assume floating point support?
