No; I think you misunderstand the license.  Software compiled with gcc
is not automatically copylefted, and we don't incorporate any
copylefted code into Executor.  The djgpp team avoids incorporating
such code into their libraries.

We have a good relationship with the core djgpp team.  They have been
extremely helpful and responsive to our needs.  I suspect that they
find Executor to be a cool example of what can be done with djgpp.
ARDI contributes bug fixes and improvements to djgpp on a regular
basis.

Sorry about that.  That bug has been fixed "in house", and will go
away in 1.99m (due out fairly soon).
