Only one so far, libiberty.a.  The lib/sparcv7/libiberty.a contains 32-bit
object files, while lib/libiberty.a contains 64-bit object files.

Actually, looking more closely, the libiberty.a is the only one installed that
way (from the gcc sources).  All others (for example libstdc++.a) seem to
follow standard convention (32 bit in lib, 64 bit in lib/sparcv9).  
Hmmm... bug
in gcc-4.0.2/libiberty/Makefile.in?
