Unfortunately, this breaks the libgo build on Solaris 8 and 9:
/vol/gcc/src/hg/trunk/local/libgo/runtime/go-matherr.c: In function 'matherr':
/vol/gcc/src/hg/trunk/local/libgo/runtime/go-matherr.c:38:17: error: 'NAN'
undeclared (first use in this function)
/vol/gcc/src/hg/trunk/local/libgo/runtime/go-matherr.c:38:17: note: each
undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
/vol/gcc/src/hg/trunk/local/libgo/runtime/go-matherr.c:68:28: error: 'INFINITY'
undeclared (first use in this function)
make[4]: *** [go-matherr.lo] Error 1
I couldn't find an appproprite replacement in the system headers.
