Thank you for quick answer! could you please elaborate why that source code is not included(?) in my gcc source tree? I don't know what glibc does(support) for my hello_world program.

It's the primary library of functions and definitions for C programs. It contains the function you are looking for scanf()

Just worth pointing out that other C standard libraries and therefore scanf implementations exist as well, e.g. uClibc: github.com/ffainelli/uClibc/blob/master/libc/stdio/_scanf.c
