I don't know what is wrong with TCs stddef.h.

No offsetof, no wchar_t (no wchar_t *at all*, in fact).

Well, neither of those omissions presents a serious problem to someone
who is knowledgeable and determined to fix the problem

How about locale?

Do you know this to be a conformance issue with Turbo C 2.01?

How about other missing things which
you have no idea about?

Such as?

Little quiet hacking in such a
case is in fact harder (because it would actually mean
checking the whole library and the compiler) than taking
glibc printf sources and building those with mingw.

If you need the source code, yes, I agree, in which case Digital Mars may
suit the OP's needs better.

Or even not building anything but knowing exactly what is
broken.

Such as?

It's funny, little omissions which do not represent serious
problems in an ancient compiler from a museum, and real serious
problems in another compiler advertised here by his annoying
author. By a spammer damn it!

If one needs the source to make the implementation conform, then that's a
serious problem that effectively renders the game not worth the candle,
and one would be better off seeking a better implementation.

Can you demonstrate that Turbo C 2.01 is so broken that one would need the
implementation's source code in order to fix it?
