   How bizarre.  This could be a consequence of the --with-gnu-ar in
some fashion, so you could try again without that flag - of the two
replies that I found on the mailing list, only one mentioned it.  But
before you do that, it would be worth going into the libiberty sub
directory in your build tree and trying to do as it asks:

  mips-elf-ranlib libiberty.a

then return to your main build directory and continue the make.
