io_utils.c fails to compile with gcc-2.3 on a SPARC running SunOS 4.1.2:

schoch:53> make CC=gcc  io_utils.o
gcc -c -g  -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_UALARM=1 -DHAVE_SETITIMER=1 -DHAVE_RENAME=1 -DHAVE_VPRINTF=1  /usr/local/src/public/gnu/oleo-1.0/io_utils.c
as: "/usr/tmp/cca14282.s", line 111: error: location counter not on word boundary
make: *** [io_utils.o] Error 1

Line 111 of io_utils.s is:

  108   _numb_oflo:
  109           .ascii "########################################\0"
  110   .stabs "__plinf:G13",32,0,0,0
  111           .global ___plinf
  112           .align 8
  113   ___plinf:
  114           .word   0x7ff00000

which can be traced to the following lines in io_utils.c:

#ifndef ASM_INF
#if defined(__GNUC__) && ! defined(mips)
__asm (".globl ___plinf");
__asm ("___plinf: .double 0rinf");
__asm (".globl ___neinf");
__asm ("___neinf: .double 0r-inf");
__asm (".globl ___nan");
__asm ("___nan: .double 0rnan");
#else
double __plinf = 1e500;
double __neinf = -1e500;
double __nan = 1e500 / -1e500;
#endif
#endif

The problem can be elimimated by changing

  #if defined(__GNUC__) && ! defined(mips)

to

  #if defined(__GNUC__) && ! (defined(mips) || defined(sparc))

or by defining ASM_INF (?!).

Neither of these solutions seems to be the correct one though, and I
can find no other mention of ASM_INF anywhere else in the oleo
distribution.  Was its definition accidentally omitted?
