The reason is to put a copyright in the object file.

This has been broken in many other places, notably in most "main" files
in src/bin.  E.g., in cat/cat.c:

%%%
RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/bin/cat/cat.c,v
Working file: cat.c
head: 1.29
...
----------------------------
revision 1.29
date: 2003/04/30 17:40:28;  author: obrien;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 -0
We have to hide copyright[] for gcc33. :-(
----------------------------
%%%

The commit log is wrong.  We don't actually have to do this for
gcc-3.3.1.  Apparently the regression in gcc that required this was
fixed before gcc-3.* was released.
