If I understand your question, this depends on the your selection on the 
compiler command line. gcc defaults to "387" (80387) format.  Normally, 
if you care, you would set something like -march=pentium-m, and, if you 
wish, -mfpmath=sse .  All the usual data types are present (float, 
double, long double) and the storage is little-endian, same as any other 
compiler for the same CPU.
