The gcc ml is also in cc (apologies to those getting 2-3 copies of
this!) so I'm hoping to get feedback from both communities to arrive and
a consensus.
gcc currently considers unnormals as NaN. I think that is the right
behaviour and would like glibc to align with that but before making
such a proposal for glibc, I wanted to make sure that this gcc behaviour
is defined because currently there is nothing that makes that clear.
