+       strtod: support coreutils better
+       * lib/strtod.c (underlying_strtod): Just invoke the underlying strtod.
+       HAVE_RAW_DECL_STRTOD might not be correct in coreutils, which
+       disables the raw decl checks.  This assumes there is an underlying
+       strtod, but that's a safe assumption these days.
