it does not require any compilcation to use floppies in linux..
either use a pre-formated dos disk, or do this

# mkdosfs /dev/fd0

then you can mount it
# mkdir /mnt/fd
# mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/fd

all done
remember, linux disk buffers the floppy device.. so you need to unmount the
drive so it actually writes the info to disk

# umount /mnt/fd
