This is separate from gcc, which does not include a C library. The libc is highly platform specific, it depends on the operating system you are using. For example, on linux it might be glibc, or it might be something else (uclibc, newlib, etc). gcc can be used with dozens of different platforms (Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, Irix, HP-UX, MS Windows, and on and on) and so this separation between compiler and libc is necessary. Your question was vague to the point of not even mentioning what platform you are using, so the best anyone could say would be "look in your libc." Brian
