I think there are a few issues to work through.  The #undef fpclassify in the 
libstdc++-v3 headers are not active.

1. configure detects that C99 support in <math.h> is incomplete.  The test 
for signbit() fails.  We have
 
#define signbit(x) \
  (__extension__ ({__typeof__(x) __x = (x); \
  (sizeof(__x) == sizeof(float)) ? __signbitf(__x) : __signbitd(__x);}))

but no declaration of __signbitf() or __signbitd()

I fixed this by adding to <math.h> the declarations 

external int __signbitf (float x);
external int __signbitd (double x);


2.  Even with this tere are problems, but I think they are in libstdc++.
The necessary macros are only active if there is more complete C99 support
than newlib provides.  I think finer grained detection may be the solution.
