I suspected a maintability reason. Thus as a temporary fix I'm checking
in a version that provides the missing cpu_has_fpu() function (a copy
from the trunk).

That might be a good idea in principle, but it won't solve the problem
anyway. I'd like to see the code for 32-bit processors get annihilated by
the compiler if built for mips64. I'll look at it soon. The MIPS32/64
crap needs to be fixed here as well.
