Is PellesC strictly-conforming to standard C99?

Is PellesC strictly-conforming to standard C99?

I have found in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C99 that Pelles C has full
support for C99.
However I have doubts.
As probably you know, the GCC project has not yet reached full support for
C99.
The details in which GCC is conforming or not are very well documented.
However, I cannot understand what exactly means that Pelles C is full
conforming.
Is it conforming for every computer and operative system?
For example, GCC (under command line option -std=c99) is compliant with
ISO/IEC IEEE 60559 (floating point standard) if the hardware is perfectly
compliant.

Is Pelles C concerned with this level of detail? I don't feel sure about
the claims that Pelles C is C99 conforming.
