This is part of c99, so if it's not there it's a bug.

Don't have a Fedora box in front of me to test on, but it might not be
available if you don't supply "-lm" (in theory only applies to linking
the libraries, but I think it can have other effects), and may need to
specify a standard that includes it, possibly --std=c99 or --std=gnu99
to get the right definitions available. Defining _DEFAULT_SOURCE
suggested by Kevin Kofler may have a similar effect if your build
system is forcing c89 or something.
