+Summary: [ARM9] Endian issues with doubles
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+
+***Description of Problem***:
+There are endian problems between a compiled version of mono for arm9 and
+the same version for the i386. This ONLY happens when using Attribute's
+(System.Reflection.Attribute) NOT when storing local / constant variables.
+
+The i386 version of mono stores doubles in the same format as the c#
+compiler included with the 1.1 MS .NET Framework.
+
+The arm9 version of mono however, wordswaps all doubles. This means that
+eg. double constants defined in an i386 compiled .NET binary will end up
+wordswapped when run on arm9 and vice versa.
+
+
+***Steps to reproduce the problem***:
+I've attached some code which shows the problem.
+
+- Compile under i386, run under ARM
+- Or Compile under ARM and run under i386
+
+***Actual Results***:
+5
+attr.long   = 1
+attr.double = 5.30498947741318E-315
+attr.string = 3
+attr.long   = 2
+attr.double = 5.31017013119972E-315
+attr.string = 6
+
+***Expected Results***:
+5
+attr.long   = 1
+attr.double = 2
+attr.string = 3
+attr.long   = 2
+attr.double = 4
+attr.string = 6
+
+***How often does this happen? ***
+100%
+
+***Additional Information***:
+This ONLY happens when using Attribute's (System.Reflection.Attribute) NOT
+when storing local / constant variables.
