OK, this shouldn't be hard.  Basically, the reference to GNU compilers
needs to be removed.

The current special exception clause reads:

   As a special exception, if you link this library with files
   compiled with a GNU compiler to produce an executable, this does not cause
   the resulting executable to be covered by the GNU General Public License.
   This exception does not however invalidate any other reasons why
   the executable file might be covered by the GNU General Public License.

Change to

   As a special exception, if you link this library with other files
   to produce an executable, this does not cause
   the resulting executable to be covered by the GNU General Public License.
   This exception does not however invalidate any other reasons why
   the executable file might be covered by the GNU General Public License.

For header files:

   As a special exception, if you reference this file with an #include
   statement when compiling a (C/C++/some other language) source file,
   this does not cause the resulting object file or linked executable
   to be covered by the GNU General Public License.
   This exception does not however invalidate any other reasons why
   the executable file might be covered by the GNU General Public License.
