That's fine too, because the executable is linked with the
library, and it falls under the system library exception.
The library does not "accompany" emacs.exe.

In any case, both GCC and Emacs are now licensed under GPLv3,
so the "accompany" clause is no longer relevant. GPLv3 has no
such restriction.

No.
