The runtime library license says that you can link libgcc with
proprietary code, whether that proprietary code was compiled with gcc
or whether it was compiled with some non-gcc proprietary compiler.
No, it says that you can only do that if every file of the
proprietary code
is written or generated in a high level language, and uses the
GCC runtime.
Where does it say that?
Where does it grant any other permission?
It allows you to propagate a work of Target code formed by combining
the Runtime Library with Independent Modules under certain conditions,
but
it doesn't give you any permission to propagate a work that also includes
code that is neither part of the Runtime Library nor an Independent Module.
I don't think it needs to.
Code that is neither Target Code nor an Independent Module is code
that has never been involved with gcc, and the license does not cover
it. The license does not prohibit combining Target Code or
Independent Modules with other code, so it is permitted.
