Bug#201658: gcc-3.3: unjustified warning for C89 code using HUGE_VAL

["Adam M. Costello" <bug.amc+3@nicemice.net>]

Package: gcc-3.3
Version: 1:3.3.1-0pre0
Severity: minor

Consider the following .c file:

    #include <math.h>
    double x = HUGE_VAL;

gcc -ansi -pedantic -Wall gives the warning "use of C99 hexadecimal
floating constant".  There is nothing remotely suspicious about the
code that would deserve a warning; it is entirely C89 conformant.
Presumably math.h (or something included by it) needs a tweak in its #if
directives.

There might be other symbolic constants with the same problem; I haven't
searched for them.
