It changes "nan" into -nan and "-nan" into nan.I had sent a patch for strtod() on amd64, but I forgot to fix strtof() and strtold(). I now send a patch for all 3 functions on amd64. This patch also tries to fix alpha, arm, and i386, but I only tested amd64. I know that powerpc doesn't have the bug, and I guess that other arches might not have the bug.
I ran into this bug in the test suite for glib, so I tested the fix on the other arches, verified that the rest (except sh and m88k) are unaffected, and committed it. Thanks for doing the tricky part for me.
