Subject: ppc64el float handling fix
I dug a bit further and it looks like that sam_parse1() is actually
generating a different value for the floats in question, so when they are
loaded back for the comparison they are already screwed up
because strtod() is used in float_to_le() and so also in u32_to_le(), which are
inlined and float_to_le() takes a float and not a double as the first argument
the use strtof() instead of strtod() in there looks the best, avoiding a
truncation from double to float, which might cause precision issues, specially
between different archs (like casts) plus optimization. So the following
change fixed the issue for me.
