- dnl On ARM, integer types are stored in little-endian byte order,
- dnl but floats are stored in big-endian word order.
+ dnl On ARM, there are two 'double' floating-point formats, used by
+ dnl different sets of instructions: The older FPA instructions assume
+ dnl that they are stored in big-endian word order, while the words
+ dnl (like integer types) are stored in little-endian byte order.
+ dnl The newer VFP instructions assume little-endian order consistenly.
