I think there is something very confused here.  Please try resubmitting 
your patch in its own thread, with its own subject, with a self-contained 
explanation of exactly what it fixes and why, and appropriate addition of 
testcases to the testsuite as needed.

tst-strtod-overflow is about *integer/buffer* overflow.  It has nothing to 
do with *floating-point overflow* and does not test strtold so it seems 
inplausible for a patch relating to long double to fix a failure of that 
test.  (If the failure you saw was a timeout, it might have been 
intermittent, but I'd hope that

2012-09-05  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@linux-m68k.org>

        * stdlib/tst-strtod-overflow.c (TIMEOUT): Define.

would have resolved such a timeout anyway.)
