According to the FSF you need to provide the sources also for things you
did not modify (see the link ciaran provided), because you are
redistributing those binaries and distribution means you have to provide
sources yourself. It is not enough to refer to other parties, because
those other parties can take their sources offline and you will still
have to provide your users with the sources if/when they want them.
You are responsible for providing the sources of any GPL binaries you
distribute.
