I think there's a very strong argument here that says either that the
GPL has been violated by the distribution of gcc _to_ Joe under an NDA.

The relevent portion of the GPL:

#  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
# Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
# original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
# these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
# restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
# You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
# this License.

Under this section, it is not possible to distribute a GPLed work under
an NDA that prohibits the recipient from distributing it further, because
that would be a restriction of the recipient's rights under the GPL.
