   This puzzled me for a while too.  The trouble is that, despite the fact that
   gcc is a C++ as well as a c compiler, it only comes with c libraries.  

This isn't true.  GCC comes with neither a C library nor a C++ library.
Your system probably has a C library however, and that's what GCC is using.
GCC installs some header files which are compiler specific, such as the
<stdarg.h> and the <limits.h> files.  

There are GNU C and C++ libraries available for those who don't wish to use
the native system libraries.  The biggest difference is that most systems
don't come standard with any sort of C++ library.

    cygnus support   |    contact with the sort of people that you'd really
    zoo@cygnus.com   |    rather try to avoid.
