The system-linux-arme{l,b}.ads files have the GPLv2 boilerplate because
they were initially written for gcc-4.3, starting out as clones of the
gcc-4.3 system-linux-ppc.ads file. I just forgot to update the boilerplate
when forward-porting the patch to gcc-4.4. I've now uploaded an incremental
patch to update the boilerplate to match gcc-4.4, so it now mentions GPLv3
instead.
