I'm not so sure.  I think the first is identical to i387_ext so is 
redundant.  floatformat appears to have adopted the convention of using 
ARCH_ext to specify the format of ARCH's FP-register when spilling to 
memory.

(dig dig, outch! IA64 defines big-endian i387_ext! Lets just ignore that 
one for now :-)
