It's all in here: http://aoi.atari-source.org/~mduckworth/fputest.tar.gz

I believe the FPUTEST.TOS is a stress/accuracy tester but there is 
source code to 2 other types of tests.  They should build with gcc with 
minimal effort.  You would want to use -lm compiler options to test the 
software float or to test a real fpu you would use -m68020-60 -m68881.  
What would be super sweet is if someone modified the math lib to detect 
fpu presence and use it automatically.

Thanks,
Mark
