Okay.

I wanted to provide a default libiberty package for the default “gcc”.
Otherwise any change to the default GCC version would require packages
to update their libiberty input.

GCC 4.8 actually installs libiberty somewhere in the “lib” output of
gcc-4.8, but GCC 4.9 does not, nor does GCC 5.1.  Is there a problem
with “libiberty” as defined above, following whatever GCC version is set
as the default?
