I don't know if this is any help, but I just ran it on my machine
which has a Cyrix 486DLC CPU and Cyrix 83D87 FPU, and it gave me no
problems (either unoptimized or optimized):

[michaelv@MindBender]~/misc> cc -o chkp chkp.c -lm
[michaelv@MindBender]~/misc> dir chkp
-rwxrwxr-x  1 michaelv  michaelv  14002 Apr 28 13:24 chkp*
[michaelv@MindBender]~/misc> chkp
Exit 32
[michaelv@MindBender]~/misc> 

[michaelv@MindBender]~/misc> cc -O6 -o chkp chkp.c -lm
[michaelv@MindBender]~/misc> dir chkp
-rwxrwxr-x  1 michaelv  michaelv  14002 Apr 28 13:25 chkp*
[michaelv@MindBender]~/misc> chkp
Exit 32
[michaelv@MindBender]~/misc> chkp

These are with libraries/binaries built from supped sources (not the
provided ones), and with the libm Makefile modified to build 387
native code (see that Makefile if you wonder what I'm talking about).
