Therer's nothing wrong with the code; the problem is thinking that a Sun is
a standard development environment.  You're linking code that expects libc
to be ANSI, and Sun's isn't.

Either don't use modern functions like strtod or fgetpos in your code, or
install the gnu libc on the Sun and link against that.

To see what you are linking against currently, compile your code like this:

gcc -v -Wall -ansi -pedantic quack.c -o quack

Which gives me output like this, and I'm sorry about the linelengths already,
O.K?

: $Pi: -134218664.000000 Pi2: 3.140000 Zero: -134218

: but it works flawlessly on gcc 272 on a linux.
: Is it a bugf in my program , in libc, or in gcc?
