Yes, and lcc-win provides its own documentation since
there are sizable differences between the C99 printf
that I provide, and the system printf that is C89.

lcc-win doesn't accept static library linking with
other compiler's libraries. I would have to
replicate Microsoft object code format (that is not
documented) and I would have to replicate the Microsoft
linker behavior, that is not documented either.

That is why lcc-win  provides its own linker.

Of course much less messy is to fail to provide
a C99 library when the system is not C99 like
mingw under windows (gcc doesn't run under windows).

I have demonstrated that if you want to do it you can
do it. But I am always wrong in this group, even if I
provide a full C99 implementation under windows.
