<<Another floating point problem are the rounding bits of the FPU.
It should be forced that these two bits are always '11' (round to zero).
This would decrease code size and speed up significantly the code.

Round to zero (otherwise known as truncation) has much nastier properties
than round to nearest. Almost always round to nearest should be the
default.
