I tried compiling this source on Solaris 8, but it fail to link because the
powl symbol is missing.  Not sure why.  There is no manual page, so I had a
look in the POSIX standard available on the web.  The powl() function is
documented there at
<URL: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/pow.html >.

The code did compile and link on Tru64 Unix V5.1A, and gave this result:

% uname -a
OSF1 snape.uio.no V5.1 1885 alpha
% cc-wrapper x.c  -lm; ./a.out
inf = 1.18973e+4932
0 = 0
