Only if Language.C.System.GCC re-exports Language.C.

By default, nothing (except instance of type classes) imported from another 
module is re-exported, so if you want to use things from both, you have to 
import both (thus you have more fine-grained control of what is in scope in 
your module).

If you want to re-export things from an imported module (because using your 
module wouldn't be convenient without some stuff defined elsewhere), you 
have to include what you want to re-export in the export list of your 
module,

module Mine (module Imported.Module, local, stuff) where

re-exports the entire imported module, to re-export only certain entities, 
list them individually.
