Gnulib module: math

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
The conversion from @code{int} to @code{long double} in incorrect on some
platforms:
glibc 2.7 on Linux/SPARC64.

@item
The macro @code{NAN} is not defined on some platforms:
OpenBSD 4.0, AIX 5.1, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1.

@item
The macro @code{NAN} is not exposed outside of C99 compilation on some
platforms:
glibc.

@item
The macros @code{NAN} and @code{HUGE_VAL} expand to a function address
rather than a floating point constant on some platforms:
Solaris 10.
