yes, RRD-files are architecture dependent and unfortunately this isn't
going to change with the next version of RRDtool either :/

I think an endian issue is very likely here. Since you're running
collectd on OpenWrt, it was probably compiled on another architecture.
In that case it's impossible for the configure script to find out the
way floating point values are stored in memory *on the target platform*.
You therefore have to specify that when cross-compiling collectd. The
appropriate configure options are documented under “Crosscompiling” in
the file “README”.
