I think the definition is right. The macro is just badly named. 

 From /sys/src/ape/lib/ap/stdio/fconv.h:20, here's the explanation:

/*
 * #define IEEE_8087 for IEEE-arithmetic machines where the least
 *	significant byte has the lowest address.
 * #define IEEE_MC68k for IEEE-arithmetic machines where the most
 *	significant byte has the lowest address.
 */

What hardware are you running this on?
