I was referring to the Eiffel kernel classes (from lib/kernel) which are
combined with my GPL Eiffel source to produce the generated C-code.

But, now that you mention it, there is also the same problem with C
files from sys/runtime.

In both cases, the GPL requires that all of the source code for the
combined work is made available under the terms of the GPL. But because
the SmartEiffel license is apparently not GPL-compatible, this cannot be
done. Therefore, it is not possible to distribute the generated C-code
for any GPL'd application.
