This ought to have been fixed by the patch presented in [1], last week.
(The MacOS X 10.5/i386 frexpl() function turned out to be buggy for
denormalized numbers; the patch adds a configure time test for it.)

Can you run the test program mentioned in [2]? And/or look at the
configure messages relating to frexpl?

Last not least, are you compiling in 32-bit mode (i686) or in 64-bit mode
(x86_64)? As we now know, the config.guess result does not contain this
information.
