On what platform?  What OS, what version?  Please always supply this 
information.

The emulator included with v2.02 and earlier has several bugs, most of 
them go back to the first v2.x release almost 4 years ago.  I'm sending 
you (in a separate message) a patched version of emu387.dxe produced from 
the latest development sources.  Please see if it makes the problems go 
away.

This message comes from CWSDPMI, not from Make or the emulator.  I have 
never seen anything like this before.  If this problem persists after you 
start using the patched emulator, you will have to investigate some 
more.  No one of the development team has access to an FPU-less machine, 
so all we can do is set 387=n and assume this produces the same behavior 
as on a machine without an FPU.

One thing I would try is to set 387=n and see if the above message goes 
away (if it isn't solved by the patched emulator).

I'm looking at this now.  Good enough?
