emu387 is used by go32 at runtime. However, since gcc is a go32-style
app, it will also use the emulator. However, the programs that are
compiled will not know if they will require an emulator *ever*. Only
go32 does that.

Yes. The emulator hooks the hardware 387 exceptions. The application
just assumes that a 387 exists, and if it doesn't the 387 opcodes are
emulated.

Yes.

Yes.
