2) Is libc containing POSIX functions shipped with gcc,
No
or it is a completely different project ?
Yes and No... The GNU C library is working only with Linux. Not ported for Solaris2, AIX, HP-UX, SVR4,... Most platforms provide their own C libraries and these are proprietary or custom (sources maybe available) ones.
