[Bug 1588840] [NEW] isnan/isinf conflict reverted in glibc6-dev update 2.19-0ubuntu6.9

[Stanley Friesen]

Public bug reported:

Compiles of source code using certain combinations of header files and
using directives fail with errors about ambiguous overloads of isinf and
isnan (due to declarations in cmath and mathcalls.h). This was working
in the 6.8 update. This is a bug (Bugzilla bug 19439) that was fix by
gnu in eglibc 2.23 and backported to the Ubuntu 14.04 version of eglibc
2.19. This breaks libpcl 1.8, among other things.

Release: Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS
Package: libc6-dev 2.19-0ubuntu6.9
[Was working in 2.19-0ubuntu6.8]

** Affects: eglibc (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
