Are you making endianness assumptions - specifically, does the reinterpretation as an integer require that WORDS_BIG_ENDIAN and FLOAT_WORDS_BIG_ENDIAN are the same? If so, I think that's OK (in that the only target where they aren't the same seems to be pdp11 which doesn't use IEEE formats), but probably the code should check explicitly.
No, if I understood the question correctly then this should be ok, since I always access the float as an integer of equivalent precision. So a 64bit float will be addressed as a 64bit int. Tamar
