I have before idly wondered if RPCEmu could be extended to handle VFP,
either via a VFPEmulator module or even by emulating some sort of
"StrongARM with VFP" processor. I do wonder if trying to support a 20+
year old platform just so that people can emulate it is all that sensible.

I think people have got it running under Qemu in the past, but I seem to
recall it was as modified version (of QEmu).
