***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.ta.gz

It avoids to use unimplemented FPU instructions in FPE, so works better
on FPU-less machines.
