Not quite. The GPL doesn't require you to give source with the binary.
It just requires that if you give someone a binary, you make sure they

Trust is a dodgy thing. My best advice is to say exactly what you've
said here: "I trust the guy who compiled it, but I don't have any proof
that he didn't do evil things to it."
