I'm afraid I have no idea.
The formats without Inf/NaN are:
spu_single_format
vax_{f,d,g}_format
arm_half_format
Never had the "pleasure" to work with any of these.
Looking at encode_vax_*, it seems both GCC internal inf and nan are
most likely are encoded as maximum or minimum representable numbers
(depending on sign), and encode_ieee_half for !fmt->has_inf does too
(for !fmt->has_nans it seems to "encode" the nan mantissa bits into
highest possible exponent). encode_ieee_single (for spu) uses
maximum or minimum representable numbers for any infinities or nans.
What they actually do at runtime is something I can't really check,
but one would hope it is saturating...
