notice placed by the copyright holder of the file stating

that the file is governed by GPLv3 along with this

Exception.

When you use GCC to compile a program, GCC may

combine portions of certain GCC header files and

runtime libraries with the compiled program. The

purpose of this Exception is to allow compilation of

non-GPL (including proprietary) programs to use, in

this way, the header files and runtime libraries covered

by this Exception.
0. Definitions.

A file is an "Independent Module" if it either requires

the Runtime Library for execution after a Compilation
Process, or makes use of an interface provided by the

Runtime Library, but is not otherwise based on the
Runtime Library.

"GCC" means a version of the GNU Compiler

Collection, with or without modifications, governed by
version 3 (or a specified later version) of the GNU

General Public License (GPL) with the option of using

any subsequent versions published by the FSF.

"GPL-compatible Software" is software whose

conditions of propagation, modification and use would

permit combination with GCC in accord with the

license of GCC.
"Target Code" refers to output from any compiler for a

real or virtual target processor architecture, in

executable form or suitable for input to an assembler,
loader, linker and/or execution phase. Notwithstanding

that, Target Code does not include data in any format
that is used as a compiler intermediate representation,

or used for producing a compiler intermediate

representation.
The "Compilation Process" transforms code entirely

represented in non-intermediate languages designed for

human-written code, and/or in Java Virtual Machine

byte code, into Target Code. Thus, for example, use of

source code generators and preprocessors need not be

considered part of the Compilation Process, since the

Compilation Process can be understood as starting with
the output of the generators or preprocessors.

A Compilation Process is "Eligible" if it is done using

GCC, alone or with other GPL-compatible software, or
if it is done without using any work based on GCC. For

example, using non-GPL-compatible Software to
