Try adding -Wimplicit-function-declaration to the gcc command and see
if it complains about something... If it does complain, like:
trc.c: In function 'main':
strc.c:5: warning: implicit declaration of function 'strcmp'
strc.c:5: warning: implicit declaration of function 'f'

you should report it to the maintainers that it's not including the
correct headers...
