Executable code resulting from compilation is not a work derived from GCC.

glibc is extremely difficult to link statically and is distributed under 
the LGPL, so no copyright notice is necessary.

If dmd had good support for dynamic linking, this wouldn't be nearly as 
much of an issue. Sadly, ddl seems to be on hiatus, and at any rate, it 
can't be applied to the runtime.
