It seems the non-GPL floating point emulator is completely broken in 4.0-current. While it still boots the kernel and brings up the system, it seems to cause every floating-point using userlevel program to coredump (i.e. ping). The people in the recent thread about dropping non-FPU machines should be aware that - if they need to distribute the OS in non-GPL compatible ways - they need to repair the emulator first. Is anyone here using the non-GPL math emulator in 4.0? Installing a 4.0 snapshot on a FPU-less machine counts!
