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

[Matthias Klose]

so, this issue got re-assigned to binutils, now closing it as won't fix.

there is more than one package shipping libiberty sources, and each of
these packages does use these privately.

so if you find the libiberty sources in another source package than
binutils or gcc-4.x, then please build these packages from this source.
It's a misunderstanding that libiberty has a public or stable interface.
Building libiberty-dev from one of these packages would just acknowledge
this.

Title:
  binutils: Split out libiberty-dev to multiarch paths

Status in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  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.
