This appears to be ignoring the "--enable-version-specific-runtime- libs" flags (which is honored AFAICT by all the other libs).

libiberty is not a runtime library.

I appreciate this, however, libiberty *is* installed into the user's DESTDIR.

This means that if you are using the "--enable-version-specific- runtime-libs" to allow several versions of GCC to co-exist in the same tree, then the version of libiberty that is installed depends on what you built/installed last. AFAICT there is no way to tell which version that is.

Does that mean that the interface to libiberty is fixed for "all time" and that it really doesn't matter which version you link?

thanks,
