For long term, I think gcc should have something as simple as 'Signed-off-by' for Linux kernel, otherwise too much work for first-time contributors like me. We all want to save time on this, don't we? ;)
Signed-off-by wouldn't help. The copyright assignment is done so that the FSF owns the copyright in the majority of the GCC code. If I add a Signed-off-by to your patch that doesn't have any effect on your copyright of the code. It certainly does add a hurdle for contributors to GCC, but it's not a policy that is likely to change. Anyway, I'll fix this one way or another ASAP. Thanks again.
