IANAL, but I can read.
Stop spreading FUD. The GCC runtime libraries fall under a special
exception which is very liberal, as JonY intended to make unambiguously
clear. Read up on the subject
here<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gcc-exception-3.1-faq.html>.
The FAQ clearly states you can create proprietary programs with these
libraries as long as you don't use a non-GPL compatible GCC plugin to do
code generation. It even explicitly states that you can combine code
generated by the Intel compiler with GCC-generated code, and still be able
to use the exception to just redistribute the runtime libraries alongside
your binaries. This has nothing to do with the license of the code actually
being compiled and linked.
