The lexing diagnostics depend on the preprocessor's setting of pedantic 
(which doesn't take account of parser context in any case), not the 
compiler's.  This looks just like 7263/11931 for which I still prefer (c) 
handle specially expansions of macros defined in system headers.  A 
fixinclude for definitions of HUGE_VAL as a hex float constant is a 
possible workaround.
