Your question is poorly phrased; "gcc" is a commercial compiler, because there is at least one company that will sell you support for it (AdaCore), and you can use it to produce products that you sell.

I suspect by "commercial" you mean "_not_ Free Software" and by "gcc" you mean "Free Software". The other answers seem to assume that.

It is best to be clear, and to use terms correctly.
