One of the "future" projects for djgpp is to switch to a linked-in
emulator instead of the go32-provided one.  The linked-in version
could install itself only when it doesn't detect a real 80387.  This
would also alleviate some of the code in go32.

Currently, however, what you want to do is not possible.
