Libiberty is a library shipped with GNATS, which provides some functions 
that are missing from the standard libraries of some OSes. Unfortunately, 
the version that comes with GNATS 3.113.1 is very old and won't build on 
Solaris 8. The problem has been reported before. I don't think anyone ever 
posted a solution, but you may want to have a look in the mailing list 
archives in order to make sure.

This is unlikely to be fixed, since this problem is not present in GNATS 4, 
which is getting close to release.
