Itīs in /usr/include on my Debian system ("`NAN' constant for IEEE
754 machines.")

Iīll send it to you in private mail, but it would be better to find
the package that contains it.

AFAIK, if you provide e.g. malloc.h after an unsuccessful ./configure
run, it wonīt be found because the bad result is cached. So with `rm
config.cache', new game, new luck. For a normal home user system,
this caching is more annyoing than it benefits, IMNSHO.
