Have you looked at John Hauser's SoftFloat package?

http://www.jhauser.us/arithmetic/SoftFloat.html.

The blurb at the top of the web page states: "SoftFloat fully implements
the four most common floating-point formats: single precision (32 bits),
double precision (64 bits), extended double precision (80 bits), and
quadruple precision (128 bits). All required rounding modes, exception
flags, and special values are supported.

There is a test program available to compare the machines
FP against SoftFloat.
