Header-only C++ library (GLM) doesn't compile with Android-NDK

I want to use the GLM (glm.g-truc.net) header-only C++ library in an Android NDK project, but I get compile errors. In the Android.mk, I've added the header search path

LOCAL_CFLAGS += -I/Users/Johannes/Development/glm_include/

and I've also tried to compile using STLport and GNU-STL by setting the following in Application.mk like described in the CPLUSPLUS-SUPPORT document:

APP_STL := stlport_static

or

APP_STL := gnustl_static

respectively. Nothing helps; Those are the errors I get when including <glm/glm.h> and using an glm::ivec2. ndk-build outputs:

After a bit of header hopping, I figured out how to fix this with the GNU libstdc++ runtime.

Try defining _GLIBCXX_USE_C99_MATH to 1 before including <glm.hpp>, like this:

#define _GLIBCXX_USE_C99_MATH 1
#include <glm/glm.hpp>

<glm.hpp> includes <cmath>, which in turn includes <math.h>. The _GLIBCXX_USE_C99_MATH macro forces <cmath> to #undef some macros from <math.h> which would otherwise hide some glm functions like isnan(), isinf(), etc.
