If you imagine the binary document were something that one could read like a
book, then you will see that the compiler has placed lots of chapters and
lots of footnotes in that book based on what your source code told it to do.
What part of the OGL do those sections fall under?  Are the OGC?  No,
because you don't have the right to make them OGC - they are licensed as
part of your development tools.  Once you have something in the binary that
isn't OGC you must "clearly indicate" that those portions are not OGC, and
you're back to the original problem.
