No.
I concluded this based on the contents of the file COPYING in the toplevel
directory and on the fact that neither NEWS nor ChangeLog there mention
any license changes.

Indeed. I have to admit that I missed this fact and as bad as it is,
did not actually search for patterns in the comments.
Better late than never:
Of the gcc-4.2.3 source archive files
11236 ones contain "COPYING[^3]"
1424 ones contain "COPYING3"
which of course confirms that gcc-4.2.3 is _not_ compatible with gpl2,
anyway not as a whole, because of the 11% gpl3-pollution in its files.
Sorry for making misleading statements about its license and thanks
for clearing the matter Alexander.
Nice that the fix for the float arithmetics applies to Aboriginal.
