One thing is for sure: if the UNIX target is not an IA (Intel Architecture)
machine, then whether the PC's CPU is a K6 or other IA is irrelevant.
Otherwise (if both are IA), it is faintly possible that the flags for the
NDP (floating-point unit) are set differently on the UNIX machine cv the PC,
and this is causing problems.
But one other, more likely, possible cause occurs to me: does your friend's
program write out floating-point data into a data file, and then read it
back in again? If so, and your friend decided to simply copy the data file
from PC to UNIX, then this might explain the problems!
