[issue7201] double Endian problem and more on arm

[Meador Inge]

Meador Inge <meadori at gmail.com> added the comment:

The 'test_endian_double' test fails because the 'double' floating-point 
type for an interpreter built for OABI is unknown:

>>> float.__getformat__("float")
'IEEE, little-endian'
>>> float.__getformat__("double")
'unknown'

According to [1], the double format discrepancies seem to be expected.
