According to the C and POSIX standards, DBL_DIG is defined by <float.h>.
It sounds like you were indirectly depending on some Postgres header to
#include that, and said header no longer does. I'm not sure what bit
of refactoring might've had such an effect, but it doesn't much matter
--- you really ought to #include <float.h> for yourself.
