Doh, I really should have an in-depth look at your .config, and compare it to
multi_defconfig (which does need more stripping!), to catch these things.
FPU emulation should be fine, AFAIK (never used it myself, though).
config M68KFPU_EMU
bool "Math emulation support"
depends on MMU

At some point in the future, this will cause floating-point math
instructions to be emulated by the kernel on machines that lack a
floating-point math coprocessor. Thrill-seekers and chronically
sleep-deprived psychotic hacker types can say Y now, everyone else
should probably wait a while.
Hmm, yes, it does look scary... But as usual, there's even less time to
update the docs than to update the code ;-)
