GCC makes a few POSIX-like fixes to the system header files, but the set
of functions you have really depends on the C library you're using and
not on the compiler.

That said, it sounds like you're using a Sun box. Certainly Solaris
2.8's system C library has wprintf in wchar.h (try 'man wprintf') but
I'm not sure how many Solaris versions back that goes.

Hope that helps,
Rup.
