Hi,

Well, this isn't easy thing to say...

I'm thinking of stripping m68k FPE down a bit; especially, I want to
pull the implemented transcendental functions out of FPE.

I'm not proud of what I've done in those functions, and quite frankly
I don't think I'll ever do any better than that, either.  I can barely
handle the seminumerical stuff like floating point add/sub/mul/div,
and there's no way I'm going to beat the stability and speed of a
proven technology (= Sun's libm).

Why don't we do the same thing they do for i386 port?  I.e. having the
default libm not calling most FP instructions.  Of course, it's
*theoretically* slower than calculating everything in the kernel...
We could provide the user with two sets of libm, one directly using
68881 instructions, the other not (= default).

There are still some bugs in FPE, and I'd be feeling much easier and
confident if all I have to debug is something I can understand.

I appreciate any comments.
