FPA code generation is 100% good AFAIK, and has been used intensively
for years (as the FPU model for all gnu/linux ports before EABI).

Maverick is the one that has never worked since it was submitted; I
have patches that make it 100% good (well, ok, no known failure cases)
but don't know how to get them into mainline.
