Hello,

This is because binary files are Architecture-dependent.
As one possible answer, the ABINIT developers are now
thinking of using NetCDF to have Architechture-Independent binary files.

(FAQ: http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/netcdf/faq.html )

The development is under way, as you see in the latest Release_note 
v.4.3
http://www.abinit.org/ABINIT/Infos_v4.3/Release_notes/release_notes.html
(kindly see C.1, C.2)

Best regards,
Masayoshi
