Yeah, so here we go, 15 minutes after posting... The compiler 
refused to parse an fp literal (1.0f), because 
ld_setll(longdouble*, __int64) failed. I don't have that much 
experience with assembler, but loading from [rsp] instead of 
[esp] in the second line of the definition in ldfpu.asm resolved 
the error for me. I hope this is nothing forbidden to do.
