Platform(s): Solaris 2.5 and SunOS 413_U1 (SparcStation 2) (likely more).
Package:     GCC Version 2.7.2.1

- Likely header file error.
- Discovered while recompiling perl 5.003 (first BIG package to
  use the newly build 2.7.2.1).

File: /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3_U1/2.7.2.1/include/float.h

In float.h there are references to "Infinity" which are never
resolved (that *I* can find).

#define DBL_MAX Infinity

(and related for float and long).

My solution was to take the float.h from 2.7.2, which used actual
numbers, rather than "Infinity", "InfinityL", etc.

The real solution, I don't know.  I'm not THAT familiar with how
GCC creates these files.

Thanks,
