gcc-3.4.4-1: c++: cmath: calling std::isnan results in endless loop


When I try to call std::isnan(double) from a program compiled with g++
3.4.4, the program gets into an endless loop.

The problem is that gcc compiles
__gnu_cxx::isnan<double>(double) as a tail call to
__gnu_cxx::__capture_isnan<double>(double), and it compiles
__gnu_cxx::__capture_isnan<double>(double) to
__gnu_cxx::isnan<double>(double). It looks to me that this wrapping hack
(that is also in current glibc) only works if isnan is a macro. But on
cygwin, this isn't the case.

I'm using the patch below to work around this problem, but I'm not C++
language lawyer enough to know whether this fulfills all applicable
namespace purity standards...
