One option is for you to contribute through a copyright assignment by your company or DCO authorized by your company. Another option is to enumerate FOSS projects in your employment agreement, if your company and hiring manager will permit that. The term GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) is interpreted to include the compiler and all components, including runtime libraries. You also might consider listing GLIBC, GDB and BINUTILS for completeness and potential overlap. Those four components are the terms used for Free Software Foundation copyright assignment forms and in the FSF file listing copyright assignments. Thanks, David --00000000000049e74205ea7313df--
