There are kernels that have FPU_EMULATE installed. However the
emulator isn't bug free yet. It'll allow you to get things up and
running, but I would be wary of core dumps and seg faults on certain
commands that make calls which haven't been implemented in the emulator.
Follow the FAQ to the standard sources for kernels. If I recall
correctly some there are kernels there with FPU_EMULATE.
