I suppose the people who read the mail and needed to reply didn't
realize it was for them.  The libiberty patches are fine by me,
but the key part is this:

This affects cppfiles.c, dwarf2out.c, and mkdeps.c.  If the
maintainers of those files could approve the needed tweaks to not warn
about const, the libiberty patch is approved.

It may help speed things up if you reposted the patch with the needed
tweaks to gcc.
