Building DMD on SmartOS

[Jason King via Digitalmars-d]

The NaN and hex formatting are a matter of enabling C99 versions of
*printf() functions.  Normally the C compiler does this by linking in the
appropriate /usr/lib/values-*.o file based on the desired compilation mode
(ansi C, c89, c99, etc.) standards(5) goes into more detail on that.

Passing 0 for the size argument to getcwd() is undefined, though probably
reasonable enough to file a bug w/ Illumos to match the BSD and Linux
behavior/
