  Hm.  Maybe I'm being paranoid, but I don't really see anything in
the code below that _requires_ FP math.  You can pass the size in
bytes in long-longs, replace the call to fabs() with an assignment and a
simple check (abytes = bytes;  if (abytes < 0) {abytes *= -1;}),
and replace the printouts by printing (bytes/10) . (bytes%10).

  Since du doesn't currently use anything from libm or math.h, it
seems a shame to pull it in, for those architectures where floating
point is emulated, in a very important system utility.  Then again, du
and df are probably going to spend so many milliseconds talking to the
disk, that a few microseconds to emulate a little math, and a few
extra bytes/Kbytes in the executable size, may be in the noise.
