Is that an April fool's joke?
The new license allows Java, but it does not allow linking with
code that has no dependency on the Runtime Library whatsoever
(because it is not considered 'Independent Modules'), and it does not
allow linking with code that has been written in assembly language
(it is not considered Target Code).
I.e. we are back to square one, gcc output can only be conveyed under
the terms of the GPL.
