Modified files:

Added files:
lib/libc/stdlib netbsd_strtod.c
Log:
This is a hack to workaround source that is coded to use long variables
but also assumes that they are 32-bits. This is one place where I don't
think it is appropriate to change 'long' to 'int'. I don't see why the
code couldn't be fixed so that using natural long variables does the
right thing. It's spaggetti code so it'll take some effort. Obviously
NetBSD thought so too because they change 'long' to 'int32_t' etc
and left it at that. As a temporary measure FreeBSD/Alpha can use the
NetBSD code and put this on the list of things to fix.
