Sure.

If I understand https://gcc.gnu.org/codingconventions.html correctly that
would be "run-time library", though I see we are quite inconsistent in our
pages. - Sandra?
(Jose, you can go ahead and push the patch. Depending on what Sandra
advises, I'll change existing occurrences.)
I agree we've been inconsistent about this usage. "Run-time library" is
correct for normal English rules for adjectival phrases, but I think
nowadays common usage is leaning towards "runtime library"; seen in
Wikipedia, Microsoft, OpenMP, Intel, Arm, ... and the "GCC Runtime
Library Exception". :-S I'd be OK with either way -- switching to
"runtime library" everywhere and in our internal style guide, or
following the current recommendation everywhere.
