I just realized I hit 'reply' instead of 'reply to all' in my post to
Ben.
So here is it (spelling and grammar mistakes included) ... sorry to
those who don't care. ...

I don't know all the replies to this but I think you are missing one
option....
Why not build your installation script to installation software so that
it will install your code and GCC? You could get a little more fancy and
allow the user to select (update) his/her own version of gcc or use the
one supplied with your software. This would seem to resolve an whole lot
of update, manual, and potentially legal problems related to using the
GCC compilers.
