Description
The definition of the signbit macro from math_c99.h uses a type-punned pointer, which breaks strict-aliasing rules and will not compile on gcc with -O2 and the -Werror=strict-aliasing option.
From what I've seen, other implementations type pun via a union instead, which is standards compliant.
