This is one of the [many] annoying things about international standards
in general and IEEE 754 in specific. Looking at this:

I don't see any requirement for how a math library is supposed to signal
NaN or +-inf results (and indeed it would be difficult to do so since
some hardware, like VAX, has specific hardware handling for those
cases). It may be possible to set a flag in the Borland library to
suppress those warnings, however.
