Maybe you're thinking of glibc, but that's not part of gcc either. glib is as Jan describes it -- https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/. > As such, glib is not included with MS Visual C > which is one of the most popular C compilers used (including by > Bram) when compiling Vim for Windows. Quoting from the above link: GLib is a general-purpose utility library, which provides many useful data types, macros, type conversions, string utilities, file utilities, a mainloop abstraction, and so on. It works on many UNIX-like platforms, as well as Windows and OS X. GLib is released under the GNU Library General Public License (GNU LGPL).
