We could do that. It's a hack, but it might be an acceptable hack.
I've been thinking about this from the perspective of "how can we get
the FSF to put an exception into the GFDL to allow inclusion/generation
from GPL'd code?"; your clever idea is that if all the code is also
GFDL'd then you don't have a problem. I call this is a hack, because
we're changing the code license to deal with a problem created by the
FSF's insistence on a separate license for documentation, but, hey, it
might work.
Do you think we should just ask the FSF to dual-license all of GCC?
