This looks like the right thing to me.
I don’t see why APE would be different
here than the native u.h. Right now only
amd64 defines FPINVAL in both u.h and
APE, but all other architectures have it
defined in u.h. Phils’ latest changes to
netsurf flips FPINVAL in order for it to be
less sensitive in certain calculations (i.e.
resulting in a divide by zero). For example,
oading http://www.theregister.co.uk works
if FPINVAL is flipped, and crashes if not.
This is not my discovery, I bumped into the
same compilation error, and was informed.
Any objections for including the patch?
