Ok, I did it by defining

#define isnan cephes_isnan

in special/cephes/mconf_??.h files and now scipy builds fine with ifc.
However, now I get

>>> scipy.stats.test(1)
<snip>
.Testing ncf
Segmentation fault

Other tests, eg in linalg that actually use Fortran functions, run
succesfully. I am not sure whether this segfault is due to my change or
there are other bugs lying around...
