To be clear, there's no problem with making a version of libgcc that
contains the demangler and then linking it with GPL-compatible code.

We don't ship libgcc built that way, though, because that would make
linking GPL-incompatible code with libgcc impossible, and that would
be contrary to the expectations that have been built up over the years
about libgcc.
