gcc executable has text icon

[peterzay]

When you compile source code, the resulting executable has a text icon.

In the attached screenshot, the USB key source was compiled on Ubuntu 16.04 while the ~/Downloads source (same) was compiled on Ubuntu 18.04 beta.

Note the size difference between the 2 executables.
