Well it should as you used -mfp-rounding-mode=d

Dynamic rounding mode. A field in the floating point control register (fpcr, see Alpha architecture 
reference manual) controls the rounding mode in effect. The C library initializes this register for 
rounding towards plus infinity. Thus, unless your program modifies the fpcr, d corresponds to round 
towards plus infinity.

Since you are rounding towards postive infinity you will never reach zero.
