I think there is no easy hope to have borken LC's CPU to work. Neither
NetBSD nor Linux can and it wouldn't really make much sesne.
The best method would do to make a distribution compiled without FPU
instructions and then take care to compile the rest w/o them. This is
what NetBSD did.

To have 030 and "sane" LC040 (if they exist) work we need FPU emulation.
I don't know if that is currently working in OpenBSD.
NetBSD and LInux have 'provisions' for that but not all instructions
areimplemented yet, even if there was progress.
