It is built because libstdc++ might use some things defined in
libiberty.  If you are building for C only then you don't need it, and
it shouldn't be built.  If you are building for C++ also then you may
need it and gcc will try to build it.

Right, --disable-libiberty controls the host libiberty, not the target
one.
