                    conflict

Back in 2005, this was flagged as a problem:

https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2005-09/msg00211.html

Trying to do this today with binutils 2.26, gcc 6, and gdb 7.11 I get the same
problem, it dying with:

../libiberty/libiberty.a(xmalloc.o): In function `xmalloc':

Was it ever fixed?  If not, could it be?
