Well... yes

I thought that redistributing the source would cover my compliance with
the GPL. But the GPL people say that if I distribute (with source)
the GPL code, the lcc-win compiler must be GPLed too.

I am not a lawyer and prefer to avoid legal battles that I
can't afford anyway.

The same for the linux distribution that has costed me a lot
of work. I thought that just using a GPLed binaries would not
mean that my code is forced to change its license. Apparently
that is the case. I have to write now a module to write
elf format object files. This will be a lot of work.

I can't put my code under the GPL because I live from my
work. In a perfect world, I would give my work for free
and I would go to the supermarket and get food for free,
my home would have been given to me for free, etc. My kids
would get everything they need for free, etc.

This is apparently not the case. My supermarket is not GNU
and I have to pay for their goods.
