No, it's not GCC's fault - they should be part of your system
distribution.

Few ideas:

1, you haven't properly installed - or you've lost some of - your system
headers (/usr/include).

2, you're specifying the wrong host to build, e.g. you're trying to make
a cross-to-linux compiler from a non-linux system without correctly
configuring the cross-compile.

3, the linux configuration might assume glibc 2.x whereas your system
has an older version (or another C library) which doesn't include  those
header files.

Good luck,
Rup.
