11496	config test math_info has issue with INFINITY	Ed Vogel <edward.vogel@…>	John Maddock	"
The config test math_info contains:

#ifdef INFINITY
   PRINT_EXPRESSION(INFINITY);
#endif

The test expects this program to compile/run cleanly.  This may not be
case.  According to the standard:

              INFINITY

       expands to a constant expression of type float  representing
       positive  or  unsigned  infinity,  if  available;  else to a
       positive  constant  of  type   float   that   overflows   at
       translation time.192)


So...it's perfectly valid for this test to fail at compile-time.

Not sure how to easily fix this...

Thanks,

Ed
