Can you test the solution which is in Mercurial with MinGW?  It is possible
that gnulib doesn't identify the frexp on Windows as being buggy (since it
works for ordinary values) in which case it won't replace it with the
correct version.


As far as I can tell, gnulib should replace frexp for MinGW.  Looking
at gnulib-hg/m4/frexp.m4, there seem to be checks for -0 and Inf:
dnl Test whether frexp() works also on denormalized numbers (this fails e.g. on dnl NetBSD 3.0), on infinite numbers (this fails e.g. on IRIX 6.5 and mingw), 
  dnl and on negative zero (this fails e.g. on NetBSD 4.99 and mingw).
