Looks reasonable to me, though I'd like to hear richi's and Joseph's
opinion too.

I've noticed a minor nit:
--- gcc.orig/gcc/testsuite/gcc.misc-tests/linkage.exp

That should have been presumably 1988-2012, haven't looked at other similar
cases.  As for updating to -2013, I think it isn't appropriate for all
files, e.g. I'd leave ChangeLog* and various README* files to keep their
finish date as is, say ChangeLog.2003 can be just Copyright (c) 2003,
doesn't need to be 2003-2013.  Perhaps just automatically add -2013 to gcc
(except gcc/testsuite) *.[ch], *.md, *.def, *.opt files or so, plus
gcc/testsuite *.exp files?  E.g. testsuite *.c/*.C files that are Copyright
2004 don't need to be -2013?

Also, just a remainder, any Copyright line change in libstdc++-v3/include
might potentially require adjustments to libstdc++-v3/testsuite/, because
various tests have header line numbers hardcoded in them.
