 It should be possible, but you should wait for confirmation from Mike
 Hansen.

 Mike confirmed the earlier version I wrote had worked on Cygwin and passed
 all tests. However, I had did make a small change since then.

 The change was only the way I wrote the numbers in fpu.c. Initially I
 wrote them as binary using {{{0b}}} in front of the 0's and 1's. Later I
 converted the two binary numbers to hex, so used {{{0x}} instead. I found
 using {{{0b}}} is not portable - it works with gcc, but not Sun Studio.

 So the only changes from the patch that Mike said worked were

  * Convert numbers from binary to hex form.
  * Add a few more comments in SPKG.txt and/or fpu.c
  * Committed the changes to the repository.
