Description:
------------
On big-endian arm systems, php sometimes crashes (infinite loop) inside zend_strtod().

The problem seems to be the code at line 261 of zend_strtod.c, which apparently assumes that every arm system has little-endian integers:

#if defined(IEEE_LITTLE_ENDIAN) + defined(VAX) + defined(__arm__)
#define Storeinc(a,b,c) (((unsigned short *)a)[1] = (unsigned short)b, \
((unsigned short *)a)[0] = (unsigned short)c, a++)
#else
#define Storeinc(a,b,c) (((unsigned short *)a)[0] = (unsigned short)b, \
((unsigned short *)a)[1] = (unsigned short)c, a++)
#endif


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
echo "start";
if ("79e88e6db0c25ca1ee5e2aac35a24d6c"
== "79e88e6db0c25ca1ee5e2aac35a24d6c")
{
echo "passed";
}
echo "end";
?>


Expected result:
----------------
startend

Actual result:
--------------
(gdb) run
Starting program: /share/hdd/data/home/jp30/t/php foo.php
start

  [...minutes pass, then Ctrl-C is pressed...]

Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.
0x00146528 in zend_strtod ()
(gdb) bt

Lines 126-133 indicate that the CPU is little endian. Not necessarily true. The CPU can be configured either way. If configured BE, the Storeinc() macro is not correct. I ran into this using unserialize() with this value... d:134.11045074462890625
