[omniORB] ARM byte order problem

Hello omniORB gurus,

I have cross-compiled omniORB for a ARM (PXA255) based embedded computer. 
Everything has proceeded smoothly and seems to work correctly with exception 
of transfer of doubles between ARM and non-ARM (x86) architecture.
The problem is that ARM GCC floating point arithmetic uses hybrid 
little-endian-byte + big-endian-word order.
It is possible to configure omniORB for conversion from this hybrid format to 
IEEE standard ?

Packages versions:

omniORB:	4.0.4
Kernel:	linux-2.4.21-rmk1-pxa1
GCC:	3.3.1
GLIBC:	2.3.1

Thanks

Michal Kral
