Yeah.
I am not sure there will ever be enough shared code to warrant a new
library, particularly because adding a new library is so expensive --
not just the configury stuff but also adding it to the link lines in the
Makefiles of all the tools that might need it.
I suppose if I had my wish list implemented here, it would be to remove
the portability stuff from libiberty in favor of gnulib, and keep
libiberty as a higher-level library.

I think this arises from a bug in cpp, since it issues the -Wc++-compat
warning even if the token in question is only used as an argument to
stringizing. This seems mistaken -- but it seemed advisable to work
around it.
