See the FAQ in the Documentation section of http://linux-mac68k.sourceforge.net/ . The kernel has working FPU support, but your CPU has a buggy FPU (Macintoshes have a lot, maybe Apple got the cheap from Motorola?). Details in the FAQ.
You options are to replace with a non-buggy 68LC040, or a full 68040, or recompile everything with --msoft-float. The first option is OK, the second comes with a nice speed-increase, and the third is probably undoable if you don't have another quite speedy machine to do it on.
