That's not how it works. GCC does not provide a C library, it is just a
compiler. The two are completely separate. If you are building a mingw
cross compiler I advise that you look on the mingw wiki for example
scripts that take care of this. If you want to do it by hand you'll
need to download and install the headers and import libraries (packages
mingw-runtime and w32api) first before you build the compiler.

That stdio.h is for native compilation, it will do you no good when
doing cross compilation to a completely separate target (like mingw.)
