The Intel 486sx on the desk next to me has no FPU either. However,
the linux kernel has a software implementation of it. In my Intro to
Assembly class a couple years ago I had a lab assignment to implement
single-precision (32-bit) IEEE 754 floating point arithmatic
(addition, subtraction, multiplication) on the (integer-only) M68K. I
didn't have time to implement multiplication, but I did implement
addition and subtraction. (it wasn't particularly fun, but it was a
learning experience)
My only point being that the above example doesn't prove anything
relevant, and is just FYI.
