 Not really.  Zero is easy:
 
 	fzeros	%f0
 	fnot1s	%f1, %f0
 	fcmps	%fcc0, %f1, %f0
 
 (note that ~0 is a NaN).  One is sort of meaningless all on its own.
 You have to know what sort of comparison is going to be used with it.o
 Hum, actually that's true with NaN and UNORDERED as well.  I.e. this
 is all bogus for COMPARE targets.
