because that is the normal thing for code in C, C++ and
many other languages compiled with GPL compilers and
only using the built-in capabilities of the language
and standard libraries.

As others have said, it'd be an easy mistake to make.
Are there any other GPL compilers which generate
encumbered binaries from unencumbered sources and not
linked against any special-purpose libraries?
