Yes, the new VFP hardware uses 'pure-endianness' for doubles.

So they are still in native format, just a different native format.  Going 
forward it was agreed taht this was the best choice, given that the 
previous ABI never made any real use of the FPA.

R.

PS.  The way things are shaping up on the EABI specification, it should be 
possible to have VFP accelerated routines that are completely compatible 
with the soft-call interface.  More details will follow when they 
emerge....
