It looks like the project has a mix of licenses with some GPL files, isn't it?

It used to be that bdwgc required libatomic_ops, but since version 8.0 this is only needed if the compiler doesn't understand C atomics. Some build system files are GPL'd, but in my understanding the exceptions ensure that this does not imply the whole library is GPL.
