notice placed by the copyright holder of the file stating

Exception.
When you use GCC to compile a program, GCC may
combine portions of certain GCC header files and
runtime libraries with the compiled program. The
purpose of this Exception is to allow compilation of
non-GPL (including proprietary) programs to use, in
this way, the header files and runtime libraries covered
by this Exception.
0. Definitions.
A file is an "Independent Module" if it either requires
the Runtime Library for execution after a Compilation
Process, or makes use of an interface provided by the
Runtime Library, but is not otherwise based on the
Runtime Library.
"GCC" means a version of the GNU Compiler
Collection, with or without modifications, governed by
version 3 (or a specified later version) of the GNU
General Public License (GPL) with the option of using
any subsequent versions published by the FSF.
"GPL-compatible Software" is software whose
conditions of propagation, modification and use would
permit combination with GCC in accord with the
license of GCC.
"Target Code" refers to output from any compiler for a
real or virtual target processor architecture, in
executable form or suitable for input to an assembler,
loader, linker and/or execution phase. Notwithstanding
that, Target Code does not include data in any format
that is used as a compiler intermediate representation,
or used for producing a compiler intermediate
representation.
The "Compilation Process" transforms code entirely
represented in non-intermediate languages designed for
human-written code, and/or in Java Virtual Machine
byte code, into Target Code. Thus, for example, use of
source code generators and preprocessors need not be
considered part of the Compilation Process, since the
Compilation Process can be understood as starting with
the output of the generators or preprocessors.
A Compilation Process is "Eligible" if it is done using
GCC, alone or with other GPL-compatible software, or
if it is done without using any work based on GCC. For
example, using non-GPL-compatible Software to
