Under Xenix for the AT I have not been able to get the compiler to generate
code for the 80287 which I have installed.  Using the -S or -L switches to
cc shows the correct op codes.  Inspecting the .o files produced by cc -c
show them to still have the 287 op codes.  After the program is linked with
the cc command the a.out files magically have the 287 instructions changed
to emulator traps!

Has anyone else observed this?  Anybody got a solution?
