Patch to get iw building on Fedora 8

I need this in order to get iw to build on Fedora 8.

[greearb@fs2 iw]$ git diff
diff --git a/bitrate.c b/bitrate.c

had to add #ifndef guards, but applied it.

I notice that you added some code to try to get this working:

#ifndef _ISOC99_SOURCE
#define _ISOC99_SOURCE
#endif


However, it still will not build for me on Fedora 8.  In case I'm doing something
else strange..were you able to build it on FC8 by any chance?

I can easily carry the fix in my own tree, but thought
you might want to know...

Thanks,
Ben

No, I don't have FC8 anywhere ... Does it build for you with -std=c99?
But that gives me a lot of warnings due to a libnl header file bug
("extern inline").

Any problem with just changing it to 'strtod' ?

That compiles back at least as far as FC5.

This is wrong.  You must never define internal glibc macros.

How about this then?

Seems you don't have to do anything clever to get strtod to work,
and I assume it should cast just fine.

I think to use C99 features like strtof() you need to either
add -std=c99 to CFLAGS, or #define _ISOC99_SOURCE
(see /usr/include/features.h).

It seems using strtod would be simpler all around, and might work on
more compilers and even more ancient systems.
