Oh, I thought they were going to sell systems to the medical profession.

I'm not actually quite sure about the answer to this question; certainly
their is no native floating point support, although there may be
emulation.

This should be easy enough to test.

For the kernel side of things, which is the most immediate concern, we
don't need floating point yet anyway.

There's currently no working gdb, although that shouln't be too difficult
to straighten out either.  I don't know what you mean by the source level
windows debugger, but I'm interested.
