Andris's r1.14 change to src/makefile.ic (to add gcc's own include
directory to CFLAGS) defeats djgpp's float.h DBL_MIN and DBL_MAX
macros:  with djgpp's folat.h, they are defined to __dj_double_min
and __dj_double_max symbols, however gcc's float.h undefines them
and redefines them as floatiing point constants.  Therefore, with
and without the r1.14 change to src/makefile.inc being in effect,
the binary output of several sources, such as strtod.c, differ.
Not noticed before, or not cared about?

(BTW, why are we defining DBL_MIN/_MAX as __dj_double_min/_max and
not as constants?)
