I think there is something very confused here. Please try resubmitting
your patch in its own thread, with its own subject, with a self-contained
explanation of exactly what it fixes and why, and appropriate addition of
testcases to the testsuite as needed.
tst-strtod-overflow is about *integer/buffer* overflow. It has nothing to
do with *floating-point overflow* and does not test strtold so it seems
inplausible for a patch relating to long double to fix a failure of that
test. (If the failure you saw was a timeout, it might have been
intermittent, but I'd hope that
2012-09-05 Andreas Schwab <schwab@linux-m68k.org>
* stdlib/tst-strtod-overflow.c (TIMEOUT): Define.
would have resolved such a timeout anyway.)
