isinf.c doesn't get compiled at all on platforms that have native
isinf(), so the error wouldn't show up except on a platform that has
both a compiler that objects to extra #endif and no isinf().
I wouldn't be surprised if there are similar glitches in other files
under port/ :-(

You should be working from a CVS pull of the REL6_5_PATCHES branch,
not from the 6.5.1 distribution tarball --- I've committed several
fixes into that branch since 6.5.1, and I think other people have too.
(If that *is* what you're doing, then nevermind...)
