No, the exception is here precisely to make it not so.

I don’t think you can say this is a work based on GCC just because of that. Anyway, clarification from the FSF would be better, but I don’t think this is violating the spirit of the license, so this can be fixed later on, and this is not a reason not to make GCC 4.4 the default. Cheers, -- .''`. Debian 5.0 "Lenny" has been released! : :' : `. `' Last night, Darth Vader came down from planet Vulcan and told `- me that if you don't install Lenny, he'd melt your brain.
