All,

Before I submit patches for the files I have changed (and before I finish
making all of the changes) I would like to find out if the changes are
potentially acceptable. Below is a diff for strtod.c so it will build with
GCC 3.3 as an example of the type of changes that I may need to make to a
number of files.

Is this type of change okay?  If not, any info on pointing me in the right
direction would be gratfully appreciated.

If all goes well I should be able to work on this for allot of tomorrow in
order to do a second attempt at a set of patches for the source code in
order to get GCC 3.3 to be able to build the LIBC source with some makefile
changes for C++ files. Once I do the source patches I will have another look
at the C++ makefile changes.
