libpth is dead upstream, I think, so it's not an ideal choice. > I assuming this is okay as it is an official GNU project?

Is this sensible and what is expected? Copyright has not been assigned to the FSF, so I wouldn't recommend making this change without consulting the major copyright holders first. The question is whether this is really necessary. Obviously, there is no requirement to ship all supporting code under the GPL version 3 or later for GCC. See the libffi subdirectory, which has its own license. (Note: I'm just a random bystander here, this is not official policy.) Thanks, Florian
