Guess that's because AC_HAVE_FUNCS(isinf) is wrong.
isinf/isfinite/fpclassify are all documented as macros in ISO C99.
So
   [AC_MSG_CHECKING(for isinf with <math.h>)
     AC_LINK_IFELSE([AC_LANG_PROGRAM([[#include <math.h>
volatile int x; volatile float f;]], [[x = isinf(f)]])],[AC_MSG_RESULT(yes)
       AC_DEFINE(HAVE_ISINF)],[AC_MSG_RESULT(no)])])
should be reasonably safe for now.
