Default Any non-GNU compilers? sick of GNU copylefts

Dear all,

i am C/C++ developer and having big problem with customers
using our C++ programs. Sofar we use GCC on different platforms
and have to use LGPL shared libraries. Because of the libraries mess
and
mismatch one has to distribute complete gcc lib chain within a
product.
Compiling comercial products statically and selling them is prohibited
due to
GPL/LGPL - the only possibility is to distribute libstdc++,libgcc...
with the libs source code and link everything dynamically.

I wonder if there is BSD licensed compiler that can be used for
commercial
purpose. Would be nice to find good replacement for GNU C/C++
libs/compiler.

Thanks for any ideas.
