Both the emulator and the libemu.a library share exactly the same code, so
accuracy-wise both alternatives are the same.

Linking with -lemu has an advantage that you don't need to bring the
emu387.dxe module together with your programs if you copy them to other
machines.  The disadvantage is that the executable is slightly larger.  What
is better is up to you.
