Works for me with:
linux headers 2.6.29.4
gmp-4.2.4
mpfr-2.4.1
binutils-2.19.1
gcc-4.3.3
glibc-2.9 dated 2009-06-18, with the ports addon.

int main( int argc,
          char** argv )
{
    float f;

    scanf( "%f", &f );
    printf( "f='%f'", f );
    if( f < 0 )      { printf( "is negative\n" ); }
    else if( f > 0 ) { printf( "is positive\n" ); }
    else             { printf( "is null\n" ); }
    return 0;
}

Didn't try with ARM litle endian, though...

What's your toolchain setup?
