Yes, on Unix the g_-wrappers are often just macros resolving to the
underlying system function.  So you need to

#include <stdio.h>

to get the real declarations (dunno why it's not done automatically in
this case).

On the contrary, unless you pass -Werror=implicit-function-declaration
or an equivalent of that to the compiler the missing declaration just
causes a warning.  The compiler then implicitly constructs the prototype
as `takes whatever argument you happen to pass to it and returns int'
which is sufficiently right here and the program works fine.  All
according to the C standard.
