ISTR those docs are older than the most recent work Roman did on the FPU 
emulation code...

Anecdotally, I've always enabled CONFIG_M68KFPU_EMU in my test builds, and 
I've occasionally booted them on 68030 Macs lacking a 68882/68881 chip and 
also on errata-free, late revision 68LC040 chips.

If there is a test suite with decent coverage of FPU operations somewhere 
in the Debian archive, it might answer the question.
