Since gcc, binutils, and gdb do not coordinate their release cycles,
it's impossible to do so.
As a side note, libiberty was never intended to be *installed* as a
library. It exists to help port projects within their build tree, and
we DO NOT guarantee any usefulness outside a build tree (although we
try to avoid gratuitously breaking binary compatibility).
I suspect that the installation of libiberty bits has "just happened"
over time, and probably should be disabled by default anyway.
