I don't think this is true. FSF is still trying to resolve the legal
issues surrounding copylefted libriaries to address just this issue.
From what I've read on gnu.announce, FSF doesn't want to restrain use of
their libraries because of developers reluctance to use them because
technically they would have to distribute their source code with their
binaries.

Also I'm working on a Motorola compatable assembler for the 56000. I'm
going to port it to the SPARC. If any one is interested in beta-testing
drop me e-mail and I'll get a binary to you.
