tst-strtod broken


On i686 with GCC 2.95 I just got:

tst-strtod.c:68: initializer element is not constant
tst-strtod.c:68: (near initialization for `tests[27].expect')
tst-strtod.c:69: initializer element is not constant
tst-strtod.c:69: (near initialization for `tests[28].expect')
tst-strtod.c:70: initializer element is not constant
tst-strtod.c:70: (near initialization for `tests[29].expect')

The line:
    { "Inf", HUGE_VAL, '\0', 0 },

gets expanded with GCC 2.95 to:
    { "Inf", (__extension__ ((union { unsigned char __c[8]; double __d; } ) { __c: { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0xf0, 0x7f }  }).__d) , '\0', 0 },

the easiest fix is to disable the tests for GCC 2.95.  

Ok to commit?
