If you don't have a specific requirement for C, you might consider 
learning Python instead.

Python has built-in support for complex numbers and the add-on package 
numpy supports FFT of complex arrays:

Your code would look something like this in Python:

from random import gauss

N = 1024
mymean = ...
mystdev = ...
g = [ complex(gauss(mymean, mystdev), gauss(mymean, mystdev)) for i in 
range(N) ]
