Try paranoia.c. A web search should turn up multiple copies, I found one at

    http://www.enseeiht.fr/NetLib/paranoia/index.html

A while back I had the floating point emulator from kernel 2.3
patched into kernel 2.2.13 running on an MBX, and it did reasonably
well on this test as I recall.

paranoia.c was quite helpful in verifying the floating point operation
on the EST SBC8260 board with a MPC8260 Rev A.1.  I statically compiled
this program under Yellow Dog Linux champion server 1.2, and ran it
on the SBC8260.  paranoia.c didn't find anything to complain about. :)
