SF patch [#466353] Py_HUGE_VAL on BeOS for Intel.
The patch repaired internal gcc compiler errors on BeOS.
This checkin repairs them in a simpler way, by explicitly casting the
platform INFINITY to double.

* on some Cray systems HUGE_VAL is incorrectly (according to the C std)
* defined to be the largest positive finite rather than infinity. We need
* the std-conforming infinity meaning (provided the platform has one!).

+ * Then, according to a bug report on SourceForge, defining Py_HUGE_VAL as
