>Description:
C99 (section 7.12) requires HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF and HUGE_VALL to be constant expressions (ie, that can be used as static initializers).  NetBSD's implementation uses a form that is constant, but not a constant expression.

>How-To-Repeat:
Compile the following program fragment:

#include <math.h>
float f = HUGE_VALF;
double d = HUGE_VAL;
long double l = HUGE_VALL;

gcc test.c -S
test.c:2: error: initializer element is not constant
test.c:3: error: initializer element is not constant
test.c:4: error: initializer element is not constant
