     GNU C can't use [most of] the VAX C headers, and gcc-vms-2.3.3
had a fairly crude set of header files in it.  I suggest that you
update to a more recent version of the compiler:

  ftp://ftp.cco.caltech.edu/pub/rankin/gcc-vms-2_7_1.README
  ftp://ftp.cco.caltech.edu/pub/rankin/gcc-vms-2_7_1.tar-gz

If you need C++ rather than just C, then you'll have to settle for
gcc 2.6.3 or 2.5.8 from ftp.vms.stacken.kth.se in [.gnu-vms.contrib].
