Thanks to have raised the point. This was so much obvious to me that I did
not thought to mention it explicitly: the runtime and standard library
should not be GPL licensed (what ever is the compiler, I don't bother).

That's a point indeed, although “Open Source” is sold as a must have, as a
Holy Grail every one should seek for, while many people just want a
working binary (few people look at the source).
However, source may be required to build cross compilers, and I personally
(not every one, yes) would require that to be available.
