   I remember a similar case from the Amiga GCC mailing list. It was
traced to a missing prototype. Try seeing if the prototype for strtod()
is missing, or try inserting it yourself:

double strtod (const char *str, char **ptr);

If this helps, then you have either forgot an #include or one of the
included files are buggy.
