Hi,
  I am using gcc 2.6.3 and get quite often #NAN's for something too close to
zero to represent. I'd prefer to have these NAN's show up as zero, so instead
of a gradual underflow I'd like an abrupt uunderflow. I know there us a
library function to do exactly this on Solaris ( I used it from cc and f77),
but I was wondering whether there is a way to tell gcc to do the same thing.
I looked trough the info file and got lost ...
My solution at the moment is to pipe the output through a Sed script, but I'd
hope for something closer to the code ..

Thanks in advance!   Stefan
