AFAIK The ARM/Linux ABI currently uses the FPA instruction set, which 
means that you will need a floating point emulator on most ARM systems 
(main exception is the ARM7500FE, but even there you will need an emulator 
to handle the corner-cases that the hardware bounces).

So yes, you probably do need to supply the fpregset if you want to claim 
full support.
