Is it possible that the compiler of the time optimized to use the
FPU even for integer division? In that case, the part of ls where it
calculates the number of output columns, then divides the total
number of files by the number of columns to get the number of rows
(and other similar calculations), might use the FPU even though it
shouldn't need to.
