The precision of strtod () in bsd and glibc is too low to use. I found
out it while I was implementing the Linux C library. I had to hack one myself. In libg++.a 2.2, Per included the strtod () by David M. Gay, which does the
same thing, except for mine was a quick hack. Since I have been using Per's
iostream based stdio in the Linux C library, I just used his strtod () in
libg++.a 2.2 to replace mine in the Linux C library.
To get a real strtod (), you should get libg++.a 2.2. Take a look at
libg++-2.2/libg++/iostream/dtoa.C. BTW, it is wriiten in C. If you
somehow don't want to use it, I can make mine available for you.
