My understanding is that libgcc.a is LGPL, and thus does not GPL "infect" (obligate) your code.
Hi! Thanks for the response.
Unfortunately, considering that libgcc.a is a static library and we're wishing to link it statically, the distinction between the LGPL and GPL is (I believe) irrelevant.
Indeed, if libgcc is raw LGPL without the exemptions, then static libgcc linkage would quite clearly render our application license-infected.
The question I was (perhaps unclearly) asking was whether libgcc is licensed appropriately to allow static linking within any- licensed binaries, whether libgcc be X11/BSD-style licensed, [L]GPL-with-exemptions, or similar.
