Kernel Math Emulation again

Question:
Is there any significant difference in execution speed or program size in either of the two solutions (compiling with soft-float or using the kernel math emulation)?

Thanks, Neil! I had been very optimistic when I found this code in 2.3.18, and
was disappointed when it turned out it wouldn't compile in that context.
Without your hint, I don't think I would have guessed that transplanting it
into a 2.2 kernel would have worked.
To save everyone else a few hours of grepping and tweaking, here are
instructions and a patch file to add math emulation to the 2.2.13 kernel
sources from linuxppc.cs.nmt.edu.
1. Obtain mpc8xx-2.2.13.tgz and linux-2.3.18.tgz from
ftp://linuxppc.cs.nmt.edu/pub/linuxppc/embedded/. Untar them into two
separate source trees. (Note: all that's needed from 2.3.18 is the
math emulator; does anyone know whether that's available separately,
or could someone split it out and put it on the FTP site?)
2. Copy the arch/ppc/mathemu directory from the 2.3.18 tree to the
2.2.13 tree.
3. Apply the patch (below). Note that I am building for an MBX, so that's
what .config gets patched for.
4. make symlinks config dep clean zImage.
The following is the patch.
