You also need strtod(), which is not in the libc.a that comes with the
386BSD distribution.  A quick fix is to hack the strtod.c file that
is part of GNU libc.  I haven't spent a lot of time on it, but I'm
in the process of adding it to my libc.a.  I haven't noticed any
references to this missing function before.

The man page for strtod() mentions that it is not implemented.  Maybe
we'll see it in the next release of 386BSD?
