gcc doesn't provide getc.  If you're on Windows, you're probably using a
different library implementation than is commonly used on Linux.

The compiler sees a call to getc(), and it generates code for it in
accordance with the declaration (as a function, as an inline function,
or as a macro) it sees in <stdio.h>.
