libc.a does NOT use GPL source code.  Linking with libc.a does not
change the copyright status of your appliction.  All GPL code has been
limited to libgcc.a, which is NOT required to link applications,
although gcc links it in by default.  Manually linking (via ld, use
gcc -v to see what to type) will ensure that you don't need GPL code.
