You are able to develop code in C / C++ that is not using GPL.  You can
sell that executable code.

If you use code FROM gcc or g++ to create a program that does
profiling.  Then you are bound by the license of GPL.  If you use the
documentation of gcc to create your own program code that analyse output
from gcc or g++ then you are free to license as you please.

For a better answer please take a look on the web there are numerous
articles about GPL.
