<<I am not planning in any way to create non-free software, just pointing
out that the .dot files are a file format that is read by the non-free
software GraphViz. It strikes me funny that the gcc would explicitly

This is confused, it is not at all correct to say that gcc is "explicitly
supporting a non-free software and serving it files". If gcc is used int
this way, it might well be a copyright violation. And the only way to
determine this would be through litigation. Certainly there is no policy
statement that says that this is permissible.
