Re: naive question: gcc and glibc


No, the portion of the C library which comes with gcc is called libgcc2.
glibc is a large package including the bulk of the C x86 and alpha
run-time support and more, used in operating systems such as linux.
cygwin uses newlib instead.  I suppose the reasons for this should be an
FAQ, but I don't know where to look it up.  glibc appears to have been
getting a great deal more attention.  Among the visible differences are
missing features in newlib such as long double scanf/printf and math
functions, or ieee rounding modes.
