frexp is according to gcc mapped to some internal call. I'd guess that it would be just an AND and bitshift in most cases ? *moving to patches*

Are the files exactly the same in the VM and your local copy ? Have you double checked the permissions. Make sure you are not in a weird folder like program files for your application files
