"libiberty" is included in the libg++ source. There seems to be
only a Make target for "libiberty.a", and, the readme also only talks
about the libiberty.a target (no mention of anything matching ".so").

>From the about 30 or so functions that are defined in libiberty.a,
I found about 5 in libstdc++.so.2.7.2.1. What happens if you simply
link it against -lstdc++? If that doesn't work, anybody knows whether
the GNU people actually intend to provide a libiberty.so?

I just checked the config.table in the sources, and it appears to start
rebuilding everything with -fpic now, but still it doesn't want to
create a .so file. I can make one myself, but I just don't know if
this is intended, and whether libiberty was intended to be build as shared
lib. Anywone has a libg++27.2.7.1-x version to check if it's included
there? The first libg++27.2.7.2 release (by me) doesn't contain it,
and I really didn't modify anything in the build/binary process. So,
I think they will not eighter.
