I unpacked a GCC distribution tarball and found no copyright notices

Unless these are generated files.
"When a file is automatically generated from some other file in the
distribution, it is useful for the automatic procedure to copy
the copyright notice and permission notice of the file it is
generated from, if possible. Alternatively, put a notice at
the beginning saying which file it is generated from."
I.e. some kinds of generated files should have a notice.
