 Replying to [comment:10 strk]:
 > Could you run the same on your machine ?

 Helge reported these results for parisc/hppa:
 {{{
 root at phantom:~# ./testnan
 nan is nan ? 1
 nan is nan ? 1
 }}}

 Helge also confirmed the incompleteness of the his patch for other BE
 platforms, as mentioned by gdt in comment:5.

 Regarding the question "is the IEEE NaN number (as you can see in the
 test) a valid [finite] double on mips/hppa?" he wrote:
 > I don't think so. When you look at the debian build results on the
 various architectures, it seems that only hppa and mips seem to be
 affected by this NaN problem (sparc64 is OK if you click on "old" in
 sparc64 line):

 He also offered access to a parisc/hppa machine:
 > If someone needs/want a ssh-login on a parisc machine, just let me know.
