Probably you're referring to the following sentence:

   However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need
   not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source
   or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so
   on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless
   that component itself accompanies the executable.

And exactly that sentence I had in mind when I asked my question
(tongue in cheek). Isn't it rather ironical that I have to distribute
my source with the produced executable and that exactly that piece of
code from which the "infection" started which brought my code under
GPL is exactly what the receiver/user of my executable won't get? 

How ... well, ironic.
