*nods* The old routines were pretty old and gcc 2.95.4 produced broken
code for anything higher than -O0. :( The newer routines were

I don't know in what context you're talking about detecting this, but,

#ifdef __FreeBSD_version > 500112
/* Working strtod() */
#else
/* Broken code strtod() */
#endif

-sc
