I can't think of a concrete example off the top of my head, but then again, that rationalizing would have me set IEEE as the default and use configure.ac only to override it. Although the playstation 2's FPU is just like IEEE but with different denormals. However, I would have picked a more interesting number if I was going to use just one, like 0.00207. That makes more exponent and mantissa bits interesting.
