I didn't know 823 was an option.  I thought all that was
supported was 821 and 860....Doesn't matter, it should simply
be 8xx anyway.

Well, now...that -lm looks a little suspicious.  The
libary was probably compiled with hardware floating point
assumed (unless you built your own).

I also remember speaking to someone that found a varargs
and software floating point combination bug.....let me
try and track that down.
