On what OS is this being done?  And with what compiler flags?  Does this
include "-pedantic"?

I assume it's complaining about HUGE_VAL, but I'd also expect that to
come from header files that *should* be compatible with the compiler. 
However, the headers might be headers for GCC and be headers that are
assuming GCC, and if you're compiling with "-pedantic" it might be
warning that the value of HUGE_VAL assumes a feature not in C89, even
though it's in the version of GCC for which the header is intended.
