Something to consider...

Debuggers do not work with FP emulation (EMU387).  At one time that meant that
you could not debug a program using floating point instructions without a 
coprocessor/built-in (but could debug a normal program).  With this change will 
it prevent the debuggers from working on any coprocessor-less system, even if 
FP instructions are not used?  If so, I think this should be fixed.
