Can you also clone / tweak the relevant floatformat (I'm wondering if it should just go in doublest.[hc] and we should stop using floatformat.[ch]). 


Yes. I am planning on doing this tonight. But could this done separately
from this patch, or do you think it doesn't make sense?

Same patch.

My other question is: Do we need to take care of the big endian
convention only, or do we need to look at the LE case as well (I don't
have a clue as to what is happening in that case :-(, if this ever makes
any sense).

Just take care of the BE case (set nothing for the LE case). Now that we've stopped the fatal crash this isn't an issue.
