In the past, when things like this were discussed the issue always came up
that, currently, binutils and gdb both ship a libiberty and they are
usually out of phase with each other.  So libiberty doesn't really have
a version number and it's a problem if you use an installed copy because
depending on the order in which gdb, binutils and gcc are installed you
might get a different one.  Any news on that front?  Or is it still the
same?
