    Use of gcc does not affect rights to the resulting object code in any
    way.  The only way Gnu licensing restrictions could affect you is if
    you attempt to use Gnu library code in violation of their copyrights.

Joe gave a correct answer to what may have been the wrong question.

As Joe mentions, if you use GCC to compile your own program, you can do
whatever you want with the output of the compiler.

However, if you modify GCC in some way (e.g. retarget it to a new machine),
you can only distribute the resulting modified compiler under the
terms of the copyleft (i.e. free redistribution with sources permitted).

It wasn't clear from Howard's post which of these he wanted to do.
