Re: strtod ("nan") returns negative NaN

If I understand correctly,
`std::stod ()` uses cygwin1.dll's `strtod ()` for the conversion.
`std::stod ()` is defined in
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/7.3.0/include/c++/bits/basic_string.h L6388-.
It calls `__gnu_cxx::__stoa ()` with pointer of `std::strtod ()`.
```
inline double
stod(const string& __str, size_t* __idx = 0)
{ return __gnu_cxx::__stoa(&std::strtod, "stod", __str.c_str(), __idx); }
```
`__gnu_cxx::__stoa ()` is defined in
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/7.3.0/include/c++/ext/string_conversions.h L51-.
It calls the first parameter, `std::strtod ()`.
`std::strtod ()` is cygwin1.dll's `strtod ()`.
Ah, so thats why this is happening:
$ awk 'BEGIN {print +"nan"}'
-nan
the numeric value of the *numeric string* shall be the value that would be
returned by the strtod() call
