I'm having a really fun time here. I've been trying to get ephem (an astro
program with heavy math usage) to compile and run properly. Others have
managed to do it in different ways, but I can't get it completely correct.

Would someone (or a group of people) please post (or mail me) a definitive
list of patches, or mods for the following (please don't tell me it was 
discussed a while back, or see someones article as I have about five numbers
and bit of pieces which are allegedly correct):

/usr/include/float.h
/usr/include/math.h
mathlib-2.1
gcc-2.3.3

I want to be able to recompile libc.a (for atof) and not get signal 6's,
I need definitive values for DBL_MAX, HUGEVAL, etc...

If you can help me with this puzzle/frustration please let me know.
Thanks as well.
