The vax code is perhaps a good example for converting some arbitrary
double format to the IEEE fp format, so I'stick to it. I was more
thinking of just disabling the code and return FALSE. Assuming VAX
format just because it's not IEEE is a bit bold :)

Yes, it looks different for different targets, but it's always defined.
