It would be li gupils/le gupil, most likely (with the plural inverted)

I still find it fascinating that Old French still had declension, so you can see phrases like li fiz le rei, where the fact that the second word is in the oblique means that it's genitive, just like "fiz a putain" shows la pute in its oblique form.
However, the Marie de France form that I saw was just le gupil.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.
