So should mingw really care about this? They don't seem to be using
libiberty at all. Maybe the correct thing to do is to provide a
libiberty.mk, and people who need it can install it.
Another thing to consider here is that code using functions from
that lib fails at link time rather than at compile time. If GCC
does not install it anymore, why is there a
usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/4.6.3/plugin/include/libiberty.h header?
Functions that are not available for the user shouldn't have any
prototypes. Is this a GCC bug?
Indeed, this sounds like a GCC bug. Would you mind raising that
question on the GCC and/or mailing list, and inform us about what
you found out?
