It still has a dependency on a C runtime library, it's just that that library MSVCRT.DLL happens to be already installed in your Windows directory so you can pretend that it's not there if you squint hard enough. You can achieve the same thing with gcc by using MinGW. But as I already said, this means using only the functions and APIs that Windows provides, which means no POSIX emulation.
