This would be true but in the case of the 68000, there are several
things that the compiler believes that it needs that the machine does
not provide, and they include 32 bit divide and multiply, as well as
all the 32 bit floating point routines. There are included in a module
called "System" not "SYSTEM", which the compiler will import implictly.
