You will also have to find a compiler that will provide a trap handler to
pass all those "illegal" instructions to the '881.  The 68881 is meant to
be a companion to the 68020; not really the 680[00-12].  There is some
overhead involved in passing stuff off to the '881, but for number-crunching
applications, it should still pay off.
