[Bug 1118626] [NEW] binutils: Split out libiberty-dev to multiarch paths

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

The kernel build-depends on binutils-dev for builds, (because libiberty
is used for perf in the linux-tools package). This prevents automated
kernel cross-building because binutils-dev is not Multi-Arch: same, and
cannot be easily made so due to its dependency on binutils. So apt-get
--only-source build-dep -a linux fails

The maintainer's suggested fix is to split out the libiberty static
library into an M-A: same package, which the kernel can then build-
depend on.

The attached patch implements this.
