Are those parts that are incorporated when dynamically linking
substantial enough to be relevant for copyright law?

If so, the gcc runtime license is problematic, since it would render all
GPLv2-only programs nondistributable by Debian dstributors because the
clause "unless that component itself accompanies the executable" would
take effect.  So I think we would need to get clarification from the
gcc runtime authors in that case.

Thanks,
