I looked at it briefly. I don't see an easy fix. I may be able to
hardcode something for libiberty. But it is not a general soluton.
Depending on what the library uses, you have to duplcate many files.
One possible fix is to modify symlink-tree so that it can be used
to duplcate the sub tree. Right now, it can be used to duplcate the
whole tree only.
Also right now, we only do this for libiberty. What should we do when
we add a new library? Since binutils doesn't need it, I will leave it
to someone else.
