I am compiling one from current sources right now (GENERIC) with a close
variant to this patch.

Not much.  If your powerbook is segfaulting a lot, you might want to try
and make sure that you don't have one of the buggy LC040s.  There's
nothing we can do about those except to change gcc to spit out no-op
opcodes after FPU instructions or something like that.  If this is
possible and someone wants to hack gcc to do this and provide a set of
binaries and libraries that are broken-LC040-safe (including the hacked
gcc with patched gcc source), it would be quite a service to the people
with buggy LC040s...

The FPE does need a lot of work.  It's a place that's just waiting for
someone to step in and start working on it some more.  ;-)
