If you have a Pentium userland code simply should not care if you've
built your kernel without the FPU emulation code.  There is no
difference in how it's built.

Did you take the npx0 device out of your kernel config?  That's the
only thing I can think of which might screw FP-using userland code on
a Pentium.

We can't help you unless you show us how your setup fails.
