Float::NAN and 0.0/0.0 is represented differently when packed with 'g'

ruby 2.0.0dev (2011-12-31 trunk 34165) [x86_64-darwin11.2.0]
Backport:
[ruby-core:42063]

Description

$ ruby2.0 -e 'p [Float::NAN].pack("g")'
"\x7F\xC0\x00\x00"

$ ruby2.0 -e 'p [0.0/0.0].pack("g")'
"\xFF\xC0\x00\x00"

It would be nice to have Float::NAN and 0.0/0.0 behave identically in this regard.
