Hi Gerald,

  A few of the (not involved in the run-time) source files
  in gcc still have a GPL v2 license.  The attached patch
  fixes this and brings them up to GPL v3.

OK to apply ?

I believe this qualifies as obvious.

I hoped that this would be the case, but with licensing issues I feel that it is always best to check first.

In fact, it addresses a bug
since GPLv2 and GPLv3 are not compatible.

Right. Anyway I will check the patch in.

Cheers
  Nick
