libiberty.a ends up in /usr/lib (and the multilib in /usr/lib/
ppc64)
This appears to be ignoring the "--enable-version-specific-
runtime-libs" flags (which is honored AFAICT by all the other
libs).
libiberty is not a runtime library.
I appreciate this, however, libiberty *is* installed into the
user's DESTDIR.
Yes. However, it (the installed libiberty.a) isn't used by any of the
installed GCC binaries, so it doesn't cause problems there.
OTOH, like I said, why is it installed at all by default? Its header
files are not, so this would seem pretty useless.
