I think that I've stumbled into the "Inderectly Supported Floating-Point
Instructions" on the 68040.  Which means that I just get a trap when I try
to cast a float to an int.  The 68040 manual says that I can get the
trap handlers from Motorola.  Is there some way to make gcc generate
software versions of the Indrectly Supported Floating-Point Instructions?
For speeds sake, it would be better if it only did the ISF-PI's in software,
and still used things like FMUL, etc.  Is there some way to get it to do this?
(Or some other way of getting around this problem with ISFPIS's...)
Thanks!
