My apologies if this question has been answered before, but doing a
Google I couldn't find an answer...
I'm building gdb for MinGW and I was wondering if gdb needs to use
it's own libiberty? If not, is it possible to link against the
libiberty included as part of binutils? How would I go about doing so
assuming it is possible?
Thank you,
Chris

Generally GDB needs to use its own copy. Applications using libiberty
always include their own copy for this reason.
In practice, it may work, but you'd have to do it by hand.
The build system does not support this.

Fair enough, is there a way to add a prefix specifically to gdb's
libiberty (i.e. instead of installing to lib32/libiberty.a install to
lib32/gdb/libiberty.a), or perhaps add a suffix (like libiberty.gdb.a)
so as to not cause a conflict with binutils' libiberty?
Thank you,
Chris

Just don't install the file. It is a static archive; it is only used to
build GDB.
