That's a crazy exception, and one that should probably be talked about
with the FSF to determine exactly what the SPDX lines should be.

It is called the libgcc exception and has been around forever for the
files in libgcc.a that a lot of these low-level kernel helpers were
copied from as the kernel doesn't link libgcc.

Ah, so it would be something like this exception:
	https://spdx.org/licenses/GCC-exception-2.0.html
but the wording doesn't seem to match.

I'll let the license lawyers figure this out, thanks for the hint!
