A bug, yes, but in your program, not in the compiler or the library.
If you compile with the -Wall switch, which prints warnings for
dubious code, the compiler says:

    cfp.c: In function `main':
    cfp.c:4: warning: double format, different type arg (arg 2)
    cfp.c:5: warning: control reaches end of non-void function

The first warning is directly related to what you see: you should use

     printf("%f\n", 1.0);

i.e. make the argument be a float or a double, not an int.

The second warning says that you should end this program with

     return 0;

since `main' is declared a function that returns an int.
