The floating point format is dictated by the FPU hardware rather than the OS.

All the systems we currently run on use the IEEE format for floating
point numbers. I rather doubt anybody would design new hardware that doesn't
use that format but you never know, someone might give us a billion dollars
to port to an IBM 370 :-).
