On ARM, soft floating point and the VFP coprocessor use "pure endian"
doubles rather than the original "mixed endian" doubles.
The comment implies __VFP_FP__ should be defined when __SOFTFP__ is
defined. However, the change implies the comment is wrong because
it's unlikely it would have been changed for the hell of it.
I'd be inclined to play on the safe side and check for either. This
is what I do in similar places in JamVM :
#if defined(__VFP_FP__) || defined(__SOFTFP__)
