As i said before, infnan(3/vax) already *is* a separate,
architecture-specific, VAX-only page.

It is cross-referenced from various machine independent pages,
though.  I cannot miss the opportunity to show this off:

ischwarze@isnote $ apropos Xr=infnan
atanh, atanhf, atanhl(3) - inverse hyperbolic tangent functions
gamma, gammaf, lgamma, lgammaf, lgammal, tgamma, tgammaf, tgammal(3) - log 
gamma functions
exp, exp2, exp2f, exp2l, expf, expl, expm1, expm1f, expm1l, log, log10, log10f, 
log10l, log1p, log1pf, log1pl, log2, log2f, log2l, logf, logl, pow, powf, 
powl(3) - exponential, logarithm, power functions
asinh, asinhf, asinhl(3) - inverse hyperbolic sine functions
acosh, acoshf, acoshl(3) - inverse hyperbolic cosine functions

Yours,
  Ingo
