	(gdb) whatis strtod
	type = int ()

This is a common problem, but is not GDB's fault.  The problem is that
your system library was not compiled with -g, so GDB does not know the
type of strtod.

Recompile your system library -g if you have source, or use casts, e.g.
  (gdb) print ((double (*)())&atof)("1.55")
