What about just always adding --enable-shared to the host libiberty? 

That will just cause everybody to always compile libiberty twice.  Why
do that if we don't have to?

It's just a matter of time before we need to do that, anyway (say, when we have plugins that we distribute by default, for example for mudflap). Conditionalizing on GCC could be a middle ground, or maybe the worst possible choice? :-)
