If you meant __GNUC__, then that's bad Intel, indeed. But we shouldn't
worry from the perspective of defining STDC, right?

If other compilers masquerade as gcc without actually acting like gcc,
I'd say ignore them, they don't deserve attention.

My question was rather "is there any (genuine) gcc platform that is not
STDC"? No problem compiler-wise, I presume, but now about library-wise?
