      glibc is a library, gcc is the compiler.

      You are probably confusing the glibc with gcc and g++. Glibc is an implementation of the C standard library, made by GNU (thats where the g in the name comes from).

      If you were to look into it, it uses the syscalls to tell the underlying computer system what to do when you call functions, such as printf.
