That is pure luck. The compiler is not supposed to be operated in this
way; although I fully understand that this was not your question.

No, he meant exactly what he said. GCC never provides C libraries and

I won't argue about definitions here. If this is what it means for

needs an operating system to run on :-)

I did, and I've also been using sockets.h from the system.
