Hi,


newbie here.


I've been going through come compiler sources available online and study
them, in particular C compilers.


Since all of them implement the C standards headers, my assumption was that
during the development of the compiler I cannot use the the standard headers
coming from the host environment & C compiler, but instead I have to use my
own standard headers I created for my compiler.
However, this does not seem to be case while I look at the makefile of those
online compiler sources.
Am I wrong? Some explanation about that it is much appreciated.


Thanks
