This seems like an oversight as gdtoa-gethex.c was added about 2006 and scanf 
and strtod support it.
See augmented STC with strtod added attached:

$ gcc -o hexfloat-scanf-test{,.c}
$ ./hexfloat-scanf-test
sscanf returned 2, unscanned 'x1p+0', x = 0 (expected 1), FAILED
strtod unscanned '', x = 1, PASSED
