 The ieeelib by Torbjorn provides a simple, self-contained, portable way to provide the required functions. Calling `make` should set up the library for 32-bit targets, and then it can be included for example in compilation of x86 programs with `gcc -msoft-float -mno-fp-ret-in-387 -L<directory of libsoft-fp.a> <other-params> -lsoft-fp` (Note the static ieee library has to be provided last).
