glibc is much nearer implementing C99 than GCC. The problems that I know
of are all documented in glibc's CONFORMANCE file
<http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/libc/CONFORMANCE?rev=1.10&content-type=text/plain&cvsroot=glibc>
(some need compiler support to fix, some don't). But in this case,
<float.h> is a header required of freestanding implementations, so GCC
provides it rather than glibc. If the documentation explaining
freestanding and hosted implementations and environments in standards.texi
is insufficiently clear, please say how it can be improved. (A C++ expert
writing the missing corresponding information about C++ standards and
GCC's support for them would be nice.)
