GPL version 3 was released by the FSF on June 29, 2007, and some (but not all)
GCC sources were updated for trunk and active releases starting with GCC 4.2.2.
Here are some o the patches.
Changing top level files and include/ files over to GPLv3
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-07/msg00600.html
RFA: Add GPLv3 COPYING files
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-07/msg01341.html
RFA: GPLv3: treelang
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-07/msg01503.html
RFA: GPLv3: gcc files
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-07/msg01570.html
RFA: GPLv3: testsuite
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-07/msg01896.html
RFA: GPLv3: gcc/cp
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-07/msg01898.html
RFA: GPLv3: gcc/fortran
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-07/msg01905.html
RFA: GPLv3: gcc/objc
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-07/msg01922.html
RFA: GPLv3: gcc/objcp
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-07/msg01925.html
RFA: GPLv3: gcc/java
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-07/msg02093.html
RFA: GPLv3: gcc/ada
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-07/msg02096.html
RFA: GPLv3: gcc/config
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-07/msg02146.html
However, the following directories still use GPL version 2, or GPL version to
variants like the GPL version 2 with a runtime exception:
libgcc
libstdc++
libgfortran
libssp
libcpp
libobjc
libgomp
libdecnumber
libiberty
libmudflap
And another library does not specify a GPL version:
libjava (see LIBGCJ_LICENSE)
The reason given for this partial transition is that the FSF is/was trying to
unify the license used (the GPL 2 variants + runtime exception) such that all
libraries could use the same wording, based off of the GPL version 3 text. It
was assumed that at some point, the FSF legal team would produce finalized
wording that the GCC team could then use for the remaining libraries.
We are still waiting for this finalized text. In fact, the libstdc++
maintainers have been waiting for clarification on this issue since 1998. The
preliminary wording was subject to draft review on April 30, 2008, but we've
seen little since then.
This bug is to track this effort, and hopefully add a bit of transparency to
the process.
