Printf routine incorrectly prints NaN for -Inf

[Peter Kabal]

gcc version 3.2 20020818 (prerelease)

printf ("%g", log(0));

This prints "NaN" instead of "-Inf" as it should (and did in the past).
A check of the bit pattern returned shows that that log(0) returns a bit
pattern corresponding to "-Inf", but printf prints "NaN" instead.

I am not sure which C library is being used (a bug report to gcc folks
got the response that newlib is the culprit). However, the compiler
option -print-libgcc-file-name tells me it is looking for libgcc.a. So I
am confused as to who to report the bug to.
