.. Nope.  You need FPU_EMULATE if you have an LC040.  If you have a full
.. 040, you need FPSP because it emulates instructions that were in the
.. 68881 and 68882 but not in the FPU on the 040.

Just to make everything explicit: 

68030 needs neither FPU_EMULATE nor FPSP

68040 needs FPSP

68LC040 needs FPU_EMULATE, but -- does it need FPSP as well ??
