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.
