First, I wrote this without an FPU-less machine available, so there may
be bugs

Second, some of the images to run GCC are V1 images (which can't do 
emulation under DPMI) so you are stuck until there is a full V2 
distribution

Third, I never tested nested emulation, so there may be some gross 
oversight on my part

So, it's all my fault.

I don't have time to look at it this week; I would appreciate it if 
someone would check to see which of the above items are contributing
to the problem
