Rubbish. I quote section 1 of the RLE:

   You have permission to propagate a work of Target Code formed by
   combining the Runtime Library with Independent Modules, even if such
   propagation would otherwise violate the terms of GPLv3, provided that
   all Target Code was generated by Eligible Compilation Processes. You
   may then convey such a combination under terms of your choice,
   consistent with the licensing of the Independent Modules.

Anyway, no point in discussing this further since neither of us is a
lawyer.
