This depends on the libc version. Seems you have 2.1. For me it's 2.2.

[root@sector17:/root/src]# cat fpu-exception.c
#define _GNU_SOURCE 1
#include <fenv.h>

main() {
    double zero=0.0;
    double one=1.0;
    
    feenableexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT);
    
    one /=zero;
}
[root@sector17:/root/src]# gcc -Wall -lm -o fpu-exception
fpu-exception.c
fpu-exception.c:4: warning: return type defaults to `int'
fpu-exception.c: In function `main':
fpu-exception.c:11: warning: control reaches end of non-void function
[root@sector17:/root/src]# ./fpu-exception  
Floating point exception
