If you use a non-Intel architecture it would be great if you could try out the Gaussian blur currently in bzr (it's rev. 10144) and see if anything goes wrong.
All sensible architectures use natural-endian IEEE754 floating point numbers, so this should not be a problem.
The only counterexample I know of are some early ARM FPUs, specifically the "Floating Point Accelerator", which has mixed-endian doubles and is a software porter's nightmare. Fortunately it's very rare nowadays.
