It would be pointless. We're not going to stop changing libiberty
just because gcc 3.3 has shipped; even if we did sync them before the
release they'd quickly become out of sync again. So you have little
benefit vs the risk of introducing a problem by blindly merging in
unneeded changes.
However, we do try to maintain forward compatibility, so it's often OK
to just use the newer libiberty in a merged build, rather than trying
to keep them in sync across old releases.
