That is true, but using the core code SYS_FUNCTIONS macro family would have
made integration of a JIT compiler possible without hacking fnpovfpu.cpp.
In particular because they are documented to exist exactly for that purpose.
Would at least have made the whole implementation easier...

Certainly!  On the other hand, calling gcc is overkill to make JIT
compilation possible :-)
