It would be more accurate to say that the availability of such compilers is still limited. No compiler should be advertised as conforming to the (ANSI/ISO) C standard unless it fully meets the requirements for a conforming implementation specified in the standard. There are two kinds of conforming implementation: hosted and standalone. The one you are interested in would be a conforming hosted implementation. Certainly such an implementation would have to provide <stdlib.h>, remove(), etc.
