This is removing the compiler's own include files. These are required for all kinds of basic features, and required to be compliant to the C standard at all. These are not "userspace headers", that is what -nostdinc takes care of already.
In the case of GCC all these headers are GPL-with-runtime-exception, so claiming this can cause licensing problems is fearmongering.
I strongly advise against doing this.
