Most probably an emulation problem.  If you need this desperately and 
right now, the best way is to change Make so it doesn't use floating 
point.  (I have this on my todo list for the future port of Make, but 
don't hold your breath just yet.)  As far as I remember, the piece of 
code that uses floating point computes something (load of the CPU?) that 
is both irrelevant on MSDOS and can be done with integers, albeit with a 
bit more code.  Just change that part and live happily ever after (or bye 
a motherboard with an FPU).
