In case you answer "yes", you must include the gcc-sources as well.

Also the sources, the gcc is build from...

IMHO in short: copyleft is saying: you must include the universe.

Where again the wrong with copyleft is it's requiring, it's menace with 
the prosecutor and the courts.

Would the GPL say politely: please do, it's recommended, than it's fine 
for sure.

Real existing powers with it's police-systems, services and courts are 
not ethical because of the way they are build up nowadays.

Maybe once in a better world constructed from Emacs-Sources... :)
