  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  This header file is missing on all non-glibc platforms:
  glibc/sparc64 in 32-bit mode, macOS 14, FreeBSD 14.0, NetBSD 10.0, OpenBSD 7.5, Minix 3.1.8, AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11, Solaris 11.4, Cygwin, mingw, MSVC 14, Android 9.0.

  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  The substitute for this header file has not been tested for @code{long
  double} and does not work on some platforms.
  
  @item
  The substitute for this header file returns nonsense on (now-quite-rare)
  platforms that do not use IEEE floating point, such as Linux/m68k.
