When you assign something to the FSF, the FSF grants you the right to
re-license the code you've assigned with whatever license you may see
fit.  Which doesn't mean you'd be able to re-license any GCC front-end
with whatever license you want, of course, but willing to re-license
soem code as non-GPL can never be a reason for not assign code to the
FSF.
