Did you link this (and paranoia.c) with -lm switch?  If not, then please 
try -lm.  I think you will get the desired results.

The math functions in libc.a are for those who don't know that Unix
compilers need to see -lm to link them in (you won't believe how many
questions were asked about this in the days of DJGPP v1.x when without -lm
you'd get unresolved externals).  The versions in libc.a are good enough
for garden variety programs, but if you need serious FP computations, you
have to say -lm.
