SDB doesn't know how to print FFP format floats, only IEEE format.
I've never had trouble if I compile with the +fi option and link with
either mx.lib or ma.lib (the latter uses the CBM-supplied
mathieeedoubbas.library).  It also works on my new A2620 with in-line
floating point (compile with +f8, link with -lm8).
