+this will install a pic version of libiberty.a by overwriting the non-pic
+version of libiberty.a while compiling.  we do this because there is no
+shared version of libiberty for random apps to link against which means if
+someone wants to use this in a shared library or PIE, they're out of luck.
+it's arguable whether people should be able to use this in a shared lib,
+but usage in PIE should be fine.  you could argue that this penalizes the
+non-PIE users, but the counter point is that people using this library in
+general are fairly low, and we'd rather have things work for all of them.
