Hi everyone,

OSX Mountain Lion here. I'm working on a Homebrew formula for mspgcc. I'm 
basically translating the script from this thread[1] (and I finally got past 
that configure error! My PATH was incomplete). The problem I'm running into may 
not be a problem at all. I installed msp430-binutils, and then I installed 
msp430-gcc, as per the script. Now, Homebrew is very careful about overwriting 
files -- it installs each package into separate prefixes (in the "cellar") and 
symlinks everything into /usr/local. Homebrew is complaining that linking in 
msp430-gcc would overwrite /usr/local/lib/x86_64/libiberty.a.

But further investigation (i.e. ls -l) reveals that this file was just recently 
installed by msp430-binutils! Furthermore, diff tells me that the versions of 
libiberty.a from gcc and binutils are not identical. So, which one should I be 
using here? I have to assume, since the build script doesn't do anything to 
avoid this, that libiberty.a would get overwritten when "make install" is run 
for gcc.

Alex

P.S. What is libiberty for anyway?
