Digital Research's MT/Plus PASCAL compiler has a support library for the
AMD9511 and may have something for the 8087.

MITs implementation of the portable C compiler for the 8086 assumes
an 8087 for doing floating point operations.  If you have a UNIX
license, its free, or it was a while ago.  COntact CJT@MC.

Subject: 8086 / 8087 compiler

The Lattice C compiler claims to generate 8087 code.  I don't have an
8087 myself, so I can't verify its bug-free-ness, but I have been
using this compiler heavily for non-floating-point stuff and am very
impressed with it.  It runs on an IBM PC or other MS-DOS machine with
128K RAM and at least a megabyte on-line (ie on an IBM you need a hard
disk).  It's an extremely professional compiler; compilation is rather
slow, but the generated code is excellent.  It's available from
Lifeboat Associates, 1651 Third Ave., NY, NY 10028, (212)862-0300.
