Heh.  I'm trying to get libiberty to be three-staged, or at least 
two-staged, as part of the bootstrap move.  This is actually not that hard.
What's hard is getting the *gcc* directory to *understand* the three-staged
libiberty, which is what has delayed me more than once.

At the moment I'm working on finishing my original cleanup of the top 
level, since that's also a prerequisite for me to move bootstrap. :-/
Luckily that should be done soon.
