[Info-vax] gnulib test-fmal-ieee failure help needed.

[John E. Malmberg]

The gnulib test-fmal-ieee is failing for the gnulib provided fmal routine.

Actually a lot of the IEEE tests are failing.

My compiler command line on OpenVMS 8.4 is:

CC/STANDARD=(RELAXED)/ACCEPT=(NOVAXC,RESTR,C99)-
   /LIST/SHOW=(EXPAN,INCLU)/NAMES=(AS_IS,SHORT)-
   /MAIN=POSIX_EXIT-
   /FLOAT=IEEE/IEEE_MODE=DENORM_RESULTS-
   /NESTED=NONE-
   /PREFIX=EXCEPT=(STRTOIMAX,STRTOUMAX,ISWBLANK,ISBLANK)-
   /WARN=(DISABLE=QUESTCOMPARE)-
   /DEBUG/NOOPTIMIZE/DEB=ALL/NOOPT-
   /DEF=-(HAVE_CONFIG_H,EXEEXT="",EXEEXT="",NO_XMALLOC,EXEEXT="",-
          GNULIB_STRICT_CHECKING=1,_POSIX_EXIT,_USE_STD_STAT,-
       _  _USE_STD_IOSTREAM)-
    /INC=(./,../)/OBJECT=SYS$DISK:[]fmal.o SYS$DISK:[]fmal.c

The floating variables involved are declared double.

The input to the failed call is:

  fmal(Infinity, 2.0L, -Infinity) and the result is expected to be NaN.

Is there some other compile settings that I should be using to be more 
compatible with GNULIB's expectations for IEEE math?
