Hmm...  Indeed.

But then, as H.J.Lu says, $(toolexecdir), which I have proposed, is
not correct, as it contains libraries in the target format, not
libraries for the host with information about the target.

How about $(exec_prefix)/x-$(target_alias)?

It's supposed to be passed from the top-level Makefile when
configuring libiberty with --host=$target, such that target libraries
can tell the actual host, should they care.  Choosing installation
directories is one of the cases in which they would care.
