# AX_C_FLOAT_WORDS_BIGENDIAN ([ACTION-IF-TRUE], [ACTION-IF-FALSE],
# [ACTION-IF-UNKNOWN])
#
# Checks the ordering of words within a multi-word float. This check
# is necessary because on some systems (e.g. certain ARM systems), the
# float word ordering can be different from the byte ordering. In a
# multi-word float context, "big-endian" implies that the word containing
# the sign bit is found in the memory location with the lowest address.
# This implemenation was inspired by the AC_C_BIGENDIAN macro in autoconf.

# The endianess is detected by first compiling C code that contains a special
# double float value, then grepping the resulting object file for certain
# strings of ascii values. The double is specially crafted to have a
# binary representation that corresponds with a simple string. In this
# implementation, the string "noonsees" was selected because the individual
# word values ("noon" and "sees") are palindromes, thus making this test
# byte-order agnostic. If grep finds the string "noonsees" in the object
# file, the target platform stores float words in big-endian order. If grep
# finds "seesnoon", float words are in little-endian order. If neither value
# is found, the user is instructed to specify the ordering.
