Fairly sure this isn't true, given that the runtime-lib-exeception lets
you link with completely proprietary licenses.

    You have permission to propagate a work of Target Code formed by
    combining the Runtime Library with Independent Modules, even if such
    propagation would otherwise violate the terms of GPLv3, provided that
    all Target Code was generated by Eligible Compilation Processes. You
    may then convey such a combination under terms of your choice,
    consistent with the licensing of the Independent Modules.

The runtime-lib-exception lets you relicense the portion of included
libgcc code under any terms you want provided that you use an Eligible
Compilation Process (which basically means building with GCC).
