It can be changed by configuring and recompiling kernel.
I checked the kernel-image-2.4.27-arm package from
Debian/testing and indeed it uses FastFPE emulation.
To be specific, the 'bast' and 'netwinder' targets do.
The 'lart', 'riscpc' and 'riscstation' targets use NWFPE.
I guess 'lart' and 'bast' are some devel boards and 'netwinder'
is the main target.
Looking at handhelds.org kernels they mostly use NWFPE
although there are couple of configs with FastFPE.
I have no clue on other Linux distros or *BSD's on ARM.
It seems PostgreSQL may encounter both NWFPE and FastFPE
on Linux/ARM. How to handle this I do not know.
