But on a processor like the 405 it "can be" compatable using the
CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION.  The catch is that you have a lot more overhead
doing emulation.... (The emulation itself is pretty fast, certainly no
slower then the software code invoked in -msoft-float..)

In theory, the compiler can also optimize user-space emulation better
(move code around, use different registers).  In practice, I don't know
that this has a significant effect.
