Well, this is not true. The C library and C compiler are distinct projects. The
GCC compiler can be used with multiple C libraries, the most used one being the
glibc, but others are used e.g. on Windows or embedded targets.

And it will be done if you indicate that you don't intend to do it, but as you
found it, it's more natural that you report it (if only, to be kept informed of
progress in its resolution).
> the supposed duplicate to PR32720
I don't think there's anything to "suppose" about PR32720 being a duplicate (in
the sense that is in use in this bug database), and I don't see either what
complaint you can have against the handling of this PR. You had a Fortran code
that triggered a bug in GCC. This bug was fixed in 16 days (could have been
less, but I was away on vacation). However, I noted that although the Fortran
code couldn't lead to this bug any more, it could still be exposed by some
other codes, and thus asked to keep the PR open to keep track the other half of
the problem (which, I know, might not even be an issue to you, *we* do need to
keep track of it). It was then noticed by Andrew that this problem had already
been reported elsewhere, with a C source that triggers it; thus, PR32720 was
closed as a DUPLICATE.
I'll be glad to help clear this misunderstanding of how the bug database works,
but please keep in mind that the best way to get people help you is not by
using a harsh tone.
Now, I'm removing myself from the CC list of this bug, because it's not at all
in my area of competence (I'm a gfortran maintainer), and will refrain from
other generic comments about our bugzilla on particular PRs.
