Freudian slip?  It seems that this may well be a "goof idea".

Then we can't accept any test cases from free software that has a
GPL-incompatible license.  Our only requirement for a testcase is that it
can be distributed with gcc, and that modified forms can also be
distributed.  It is a mistake to try to be more strict, or to specify
either "GPL" or "GCC's CURRENT LICENSE".
