libgcc.a is nothing to be concerned about license-wise.  Only libgpp.a 
imposes LGPL on the applications.  Therefore, if you work in C, you have 
nothing to worry about as long as your source (not the libraries) doesn't 
include something that was lifted from some GNU program.  If you work in 
C++, try linking without -lgpp at first: many classes are in libiostream 
and libstdcxx which aren't GPL/LGPL; only if you still have unresolved 
externals, append -lgpp.
