My vague recollection from the last GCC summit is that there was no plan to 
move the 4.1 branch to GPLv3 and that everyone was OK with this.  This makes 
things simpler for distributors.  And I think that creating a special branch 
would create more confusion than anything else.

So I'd simply revert the patch that (presumably) accidentally changed the 
licence of this particular file and ask people to be careful about this.
