Perhaps true but not in its default mode.  gcc -std=c99 -pedantic
is very close to being standard C99, and similarly for -std=C90
and -std=C11 (in both cases with -pedantic).  But gcc by itself,
without any options and especially without -pedantic, is nowhere
close to being a standard C compiler, de facto or otherwise.
