It looks like `get_thread_stack_base ()' doesn't work.

Can you run "grep -i pthread_attr_getstack config.h" and "grep -i
pthread_get_stackaddr config.h" from the build directory?

It's surprising that `DINFINITY' and `DQNAN' are declared as ints.  Can
you "rgrep '\(DINFINITY\|DQNAN\)' /usr/include"?

Our code appears to be based on that of Octave
(http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/ec969f3b8955/liboctave/lo-ieee.cc),
which (erroneously) assumes that these variables are only used on OSF.

Can you also "rgrep hstrerror /usr/include"?

Thanks in advance,
Ludovic.
