So something like this (in khexedit) is to be doomed, too?

    QString buf;
    void *P8Bit, *P16Bit, *P32Bit, *P64Bit;
    unsigned char Data[8];
    if(
#ifdef WORDS_BIGENDIAN
        !
#endif
         mCheckIntelFormat->isChecked() )
    {
      // take it as it is
      memcpy( Data, state.data, 8 );
      P8Bit = P16Bit = P32Bit = P64Bit = Data;
    }
    else
    {
      // reverse order
      for( int i=0,j=7; i<8; ++i,--j )
        Data[i] = state.data[j];

      P8Bit =  &Data[7];
      P16Bit = &Data[6];
      P32Bit = &Data[4];
      P64Bit = Data;
    }
  ...
    // float 32 bit
    buf.sprintf( "%E", *(float*)P32Bit );
    mText2[2]->setText( buf );
    // float 64 bit
    buf.sprintf( "%E", *(double*)P64Bit );
    mText2[3]->setText( buf );

So should I use a kjs_double_t typedef there, too?
