Thanks for the information, as per the specification of sinf:
For finite values of x not in the range [-1,1], a domain error shall
occur, and [MX] [Option Start]  either a NaN (if supported), or "an
implementation-defined value shall be returned".

So the return value is implementation defined and NetBSD does not return Nan.

Thanks & Regards,
Channa
