Actually, it's a pointer to a function.

It looks like __infinity is being improperly exported by cygwin1.dll,
and not being properly imported by your application.  I'll look into
it, unless you want to ;-)

Try changing math.h to be like this for now:

extern __declspec(dllimport) const union __dmath __infinity;
       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
