I know neither our FPE or SoftwareFPU supports the broken LC040, but
what problem are you having otherwise?  Are you still getting seg
faults?  Or is it just the result of math function isn't right?

You're right, but there's something else.  It's hard to debug FPE on a
machine with FPU.  It's very tedious.  Now that NetBSD (reportedly)
runs on LC040, people could debug FPE directly on their LC040 boxes.

What kind of "clues" are you looking for?  BTW, so many people have
suggested asking SoftwareFPU's developer for help on FPE (whether
regarding LC040 or not), it made it into the FAQ.
