Licensing of libgcc and libstdc++ as shared libraries

[Robert Dewar]

If you distribute code covered by the GPL in binary format, you
must distribute the sources as well. It matters not a whit whether the code
is in a shared library or not.

This is a misreading (a serious one)

Just think about the intention, the idea is that the recipient
of the softeware must be able to modify it. If you distribute a DLL containing GPL'ed
code the recipient must be able to modify that code and recreate the DLL.
