GCC in particular comes with the Runtime Library Exception to the GPL. The exception carves out runtime code from the GPL vital licensing condition, and it doesn't require software compiled by GCC to attribute back to GCC.

So there's no legal reason to copy in the GPL text into this notice on account of GCC.

Yes, do convey GPL text if you're also conveying LGPL text.

That license file doesn't describe the license governing chromium they have a separate license file for that (and it's very small, since it's an MIT/BSD style license). This license file covers all software used in the making of chromium.
