- You aren't doing anything wrong. Unfortunately you're running into a
- limitation of Executor 2 -- we don't yet support applications which
- directly manipulate the FPU, nor do we support INITs, so "SoftFPU"
- isn't a solution either.
-
- It's not fun to tell people that there is no solution for their
- particular problem, but that's currently the case.
