gclib connection on nonLinux platforms


When building gcc for a Linux platform, gcclib needs to be installed as well.  
However, the documentation does not mention what to do on nonLinuz platforms 
such as Solaris or TRU64 DEC (COMPAQ).

#include <complex.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  double complex a;

  a = 3. + (4. * I);
  printf("%g\n", cabs(a));
  return 0;
}

In a nonLinux platform, complex.h is not found so that the complex type is not 
defined.  The vendor compiler, however, does compile successfully.

It appears from the documentation that glibc is only for Linux platforms and 
should not be built and installed on other platforms.  Is this correct?  What 
should be done to make sure that gcc conforms to the ISO C standard (see 
sections 4 and 7.3.1).

Should gcc be included within the gcc include and library areas?
