Hi Alexandre,

I've just make some investigations and finally I found that "float"
number seems to be wrong on our arm system
for example
 >1/3
 1.194530457405681e+103

don't know if it can come from BIG_ENDIAN_FLOATING_POINT, nothing
change when I try to play with it (1/3 always gives the same result).
we are on an OABI armV4 (arm920t).

Best regards.
Julien.
