I think you don't want to get rid of it anyway, since if FPU emulation
is in use, emulation of floating point instructions in branch delay
slots is really problematic and requires nasty hacks with executable
stacks and whatnot. It would be nice if we could tell GCC not to put
the fpu instructions it generates in branch delay slots either, but I
don't know a way to do that.
