gcov-io.h and libgcc GPL exception

gcov-io.h contains some functions that get used in libgcc2.c. Shouldn't
it have the libgcc license exception?
In addition to the permissions in the GNU General Public License, the
Free Software Foundation gives you unlimited permission to link the
compiled version of this file into combinations with other programs,
and to distribute those combinations without any restriction coming
from the use of this file. (The General Public License restrictions
do apply in other respects; for example, they cover modification of
the file, and distribution when not linked into a combine
executable.)
[Also, I notice that GPLv1, along with the old FSF address, has returned
to GCC with tradcpp.]
