Yeah, you can only see it if you run libiberty/configure --help.  If you
use it at top level it will be passed down.  The --help option interacts
poorly with the multi-level configure scripts used by gcc.

The option is actually documented in the libiberty manual, which is
considered to be internal documentation.
