In section 5.3.4 in reference to the npx0 device (math co-processor), it is stated: "npx0 is the interface to the math coprocessor. . . If you do not have a math coprocessor, you can comment this out." However, attempting to compile a kernel without the npx0 line always results in a link-time (or possibly compile-time, but I think it was link) error. I use the GPL floating-point emulation library. Thanks for taking time to look into this.
