nope, fpa must be working, since some people are using it.  i don't
know the intricacies of the different fpa implementations, though.

libgcc can do the floating point calculations for you, but this has
never worked for me.  presumably you need to link to a c library and
pass the float operations on to it - can anyone comment if this is
worth it or will ever be implemented?
