This is an interesting situation! If I understand Danny's patches correctly,
then the last compiler written in C++, 0.17.1, is not currently compilable
without the isnan patch... So normally, they should continue providing bug
fix releases to the 0.17 branch, to make sure it actually does compile
with a C++ compiler in a contemporary setting.

Maybe you could do some lobbying for it...
