Perhaps a better way of stating the situation is that almost every
program compiled with gcc have inlined functions from GPL'ed stuff, but
gcc comes attached with a modified GPL excempting programs which use
solely those functions and no other GPLed code from the full rigor of
the GPL.

Unfortunately, I can't find a copy of that exemption right now...
