You can sell that executable code. If you use code FROM gcc or g++ to create a program that does profiling. Then you are bound by the license of GPL. If you use the documentation of gcc to create your own program code that analyse output from gcc or g++ then you are free to license as you please. For a better answer please take a look on the web there are numerous articles about GPL. -- Thanks KenF OpenOffice.org developer
