And another one - strtod("nan()", ptr) should consume the () (per C99, the
n-char-sequence between the literal () is optional, not required).
Without the patch, ptr is set to str+3 instead of str+5. OK to apply?



Ok.

    Fix strtod("nan()", ptr).
    * libc/stdlib/gdtoa-hexnan.c (hexnan): When the optional
    n-char-sequence is omitted, still parse the ().
