As opposed to just building gcc, where it's really only used to build
host programs. Libiberty is also used by binutils, gdb, newlib,
cygwin, and possibly others. It's possible to build all those
packages from a single source tree, and when you do that, libiberty
really gets a workout - especially when building a cygwin native
toolchain.
