I was going to add a test for this to Lib/test/test_math.py, but found this comment:
        # copysign(INF, NAN) may be INF or it may be NINF, since
        # we don't know whether the sign bit of NAN is set on any
        # given platform. 

I would try to claim this is fixable, by this patch:

 #if !defined(Py_NAN) && !defined(Py_NO_NAN)
-#define Py_NAN (Py_HUGE_VAL * 0.)
+#define Py_NAN abs(Py_HUGE_VAL * 0.)
 #endif

 /* Py_OVERFLOWED(X)

Should I rework the tests to reflect this and submit a patch?
