In the compiler for use by the compiler no, GPL is fine,
because it is isolated to the tool, which isn't (usually)
deployed to end users.

Yes. I cannot allow any LGLP or GPL code in my project
as source, and the binaries must be fully unencumbered:
both source and binary must be free for any use,
including use in proprietary systems.

With Ocaml, the libraries and runtime are LGLPX,
where the 'X' means that when I link my own code
to the library, the library gives up its licence
and becomes entirely unencumbered: that is,
the result after the linking is a derived work,
but the licence specifically releases that work
from all constraints.
