Broadcom's under no obligation to release the mods to gcc except to their downstream users. According to RMS, use within a company does not constitute "distribution" in a sense that triggers the GPL. Linksys is also under no obligation to actually ask Broadcom for the source.

    No, Linksys IS in a position to ask them for the source if Broadcom gave them a modified GCC binary to use. You and I, having no modified GCC binary in our possession, have no right to the source, either.
