Which is also a good argument against re-implementing it, unless we have
to. Apparently the strtod.c file in gcj/classpath is not actually from
fdlibm but rather from newlib.

Dalibor Topic said on IRC that it has some problems on Irix. So it might
not be a good idea. So perhaps adding a special case would be best, or
you could solve it upstream by adding support for NaN and infinity to
newlib.
