is the default ld linker script GPL?

If one is hacking on linker scripts, it is handy to have an example,
so I was thinking of dumping the default binutils ld linker script
using --verbose and hacking on it.

However, I am wondering if it is GPL.  I could think of it as an
elaborate configuration file, or I could think of it as a program in a
domain specific programming language.  Either way, it would be helpful
to clarify this.  Maybe this has already been done somewhere and I did
not find it.  The output of ld --verbose does not say.
