Curious, I checked under Solaris and Darwin:

% cat foo.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
  printf("%f\n", -0.0);
  printf("%+f\n", -0.0);
  return 0;
}

% gcc foo.c -o foo

% uname -a
SunOS quantum 5.10 Generic_118833-24 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60 Solaris
% ./foo
-0.000000
-0.000000

% uname -a
Darwin quantum.local 9.2.2 Darwin Kernel Version 9.2.2: Tue Mar  4 21:23:43 PST 2008; root:xnu-1228.4.31~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh
% ./foo
-0.000000
