Your gcc plugin code would only exist in the first place as an extension 
for gcc, so without gcc, there would be no plugin of yours.  So, why 
would you even write a plugin for gcc in the first place?

If the GPL alone would be able to restrict it in this way, you wouldn't 
enjoy it either, so what motivations would you have to submit any code 
at all to help promote and spread a project purpoting the evil GPL license?


Non sequitur...
