Comment:
The problem is located at line 398 of `codeGen/PprC.hs`, which prints
float/double constants in a form the C compiler understands.
Two alternatives
* Do what native code gen does: generate a hex constant and cast. Perhaps
non-portable.
* Do conditional tests to check for infinite values and `INFINITY`. Also
minus-infinite and NaN need checked. In effect, this means moving the
`fromRational` call in `Outputable.rational` into `PprC`.
Simon M recommends the second for now. And will do!
Thanks
Simon
