Hi,

I am generating ANSI C on a Sun 3 (as a "portable" assembly language at the
back end of a functional language compiler), and I need an ANSI-conformant
C compiler with proper header files and libraries.

We have gcc version 1.37.1, and it is my understanding that although the
compiler is mostly ANSI-conformant, it delegates the header file and library
support to that provided by the Sun C compiler (which is not ANSI-conformant).

Questions:

(1) Is there a collection of ANSI-conformant header files and libraries to go
    with gcc on Sun 3's?

(2) If so, where can I obtain it?

I would have expected that since the ANSI C standard has been essentially
unmodified since December 1988, the standard Sun C compiler should have been
ANSIfied.  If you care to comment, do you think that my expectations are
reasonable, or is there some good reason for providing only a pre-ANSI
compiler with the standard system.

P.S. Replies by email please; I will send a summary, if I get any replies!

     Thanks in advance.
