|     test-strtod.c:544: assertion failed
|     test-strtod.c:592: assertion failed
|     test-strtod.c:635: assertion failed

All three of these assertions deal with parsing the end pointer on "nan"
vs. "-nan".  Which libc are you using?  I'm assuming that the minimal
tests in strtod.m4 didn't find anything wrong with your libc?

This shows some different failures, such as on not leaving errno unchanged
for "-0".  Also something I should add to strtod.m4.
