binutils maintains its own version and gcc its own for libiberty even
though the sources are same.
During build time they do not use the one you install but they use the
one they build for themselves. So unless some other package is
requiring this library we can stop installing it altogether in
binutils as well as in gcc. But if we need to have one copy in the
installation then
we should choose whichever is newer of two.
