No, it won't.  The includes & libraries are from the OS, not GNU - an
exception is gnulib as distributed with gcc, but it is in the public
domain so it's no problem.

Even if you use GNU libraries (not published yet), they will have the
GLPL which allows linking with other programs - see the GLPL on some
recent GNU distributions for details.
