Does your libm have "isfinite" ?
Or what's available function/macro to check for finiteness ?

Note that ./configure script should be checking for isfinite,
defining or not a HAVE_ISFINITE macro in postgis/postgis_config.h
What does it say ?

Then there's code around the codebase using that macro to do
different thing. Take a look. Patch is welcome once you figure out.
