Hi,

Our group is working on a port of Kaffe to a National Semiconductor
NS486SXF board.  So far we have the interpreter working and are proceeding
with the JIT version.  However, we're running into some problems since the
JIT seems to depend on the presence of a FPU (our board doesn't have one).

Does anyone know of any simple way to bypass these instructions?  So far
Kaffe has proven to be highly configurable and we've been able to tailor
it to our needs so I was wondering if any provisions have been made for
the absence of an FPU.


Thanks

Paul
