The C and C++ runtime are LGPL AFAIK, the gcc Gnat runtime is
GMGPL. So (IANAL) it should be possible to produce non-GPL executables
with FSF gcc in the languages C, C++ and Ada.

I remember that in the past, there were also some libraries included,
that where GPL only (libgcov? I might be wrong).

I don't know anything about the license status of the Java and ObjC
runtimes.
