Thanks, I like this option the best.

Are these checks correct?
Why has glibc not been updated in the 7 years since the checks were added?
As I recall, this comes from an old dispute about what glibc should do when
asked to print floating-p
I noticed that vfprintf() was replaced on my glibc-2.20 system,
which is surprising and a lot of code to be duplicating.
This gets pulled in because:
$ grep gl_cv_func_printf.*=no config.log
gl_cv_func_printf_infinite_long_double=no
$ grep -A5 "checking.*infinite 'long double' arguments" conf
