You're right.  The concept of the GPL was well suited for programs that 
had to be statically linked, when you source code was far more needed. 
Today we have many more options for componentization to which the GPL 
has no clear answer, like building "web2.0" mashups out of loose parts 
communicating over http.  Thus, the measures they're taking with gcc 
plugins.  You're either with us or you're not.

Of couse, for those who don't like the GPL and its measures to assure 
sources are always available, forking is an option as is opting for 
another compiler under another license.
