NAK on sim/bfin/linux-fixed-code.s.  that is code coming from the Linux kernel 
and licensing that under GPLv3 instead of GPLv2 would be entirely pointless 
(the Linux kernel isn't going GPLv3) and just cause me headaches.

the sim/bfin/aclocal.m4 change doesn't make sense as that is a generated file 
and it's changing the license on a macro that's been imported from an external 
project.  so it'll just get "reverted" next time the file gets regenerated.

i don't see a problem with the Makefile.in changes

for the others, i'm guessing this was a script based conversion ?  i'm not 
sure this can be blindly done as someone has to double check there aren't any 
GPLv2 specific files.  unlikely, and probably already problematic if such an 
issue exists, but still better to verify first ...
