Work around Solaris 10 math.h bug.
* m4/math_h.m4 (gl_MATH_H): Check for bug. (gl_MATH_H_DEFAULTS): Set up default. * modules/math (Makefile.am): Replace new indicators. * lib/math.in.h (NAN, HUGE_VAL): Provide replacements. * tests/test-math.c (main): Test this. * m4/strtod.m4 (gl_FUNC_STRTOD): Don't rely on HUGE_VAL. * doc/posix-headers/math.texi (math.h): Mention bug. Reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe and Jim Meyering. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <ebb9@byu.net>
