According to Eric Blake on 3/31/2008 6:24 AM:

Ah.  The problem was that Solaris 8 does not define NAN anywhere, so the
test failures I saw in the NaN section of test-strtod.c were because
Solaris was correctly parsing NaN, but the test thought that NaN was not
possible.  I'm removing the 'Solaris?' designations from strtod.texi, as
there was not a bug there after all.
