And the code that fails is guarded with

                // apply "angle"
                if (New->Angle != HUGE_VAL)
                {
                        if ((New->Type == PERSPECTIVE_CAMERA) || (New->Type ==
ORTHOGRAPHIC_CAMERA))
                        {
                                if (New->Angle >= 180.0)
                                        Error("Viewing angle has to be smaller
than 180 degrees.");

so it's somewhat "bad QOI" if we optimize

  mem = Inf;
  if (mem != Inf)
    abort ();

with -ffinite-math-only because in some way there's no "math" involved here :P
But yeah, the above is just a cheap isinf() which we'd have folded before
and now we're folding the literal equality compare as well.

Meh.

-ffinite-math-only was supposed to give us leverage in associating ops and
not wory about turning +Inf into something else, like x + x - x is +Inf
if x + x overflows but we like to optimize it to 'x'.  That is, it was
more relaxing arithmetic folding than saying "any Inf invokes undefined
behavior".

The docs still say

@item -ffinite-math-only
@opindex ffinite-math-only
Allow optimizations for floating-point arithmetic that assume
that arguments and results are not NaNs or +-Infs.

blindly breaking programs without benefit isn't really what we should do,
but then this ship may have sailed ....
