I found this on the mac68k mailing-list. It is also of interest for those
people running NetBSD/atari without an FPU.

***ATTENTION***
Anyone running NetBSD/mac68k without a hardware FPU, please obtain and
install this math library files for FPU-less environment:
ftp://puma.bevd.blacksburg.va.us/private/kenn/libm-nomc68881.tar.gz
It avoids to use unimplemented FPU instructions in FPE, so works better
on FPU-less machines.
