Few weeks ago I made a work on review and merge functional parts of
netbsd's strtod(3) (both used in out tree, as netbsd_strtod.c, and
recent NetBSD) and our strtod(3). My patch eliminates need of having
netbsd's version of strtod in our tree. I'll find this patch and post to you
for review and testing because it's mainly affecting non i386 architectures.
