We're including a copy of libiberty.

There is an (apparently non-fatal) error during configuration:

[...]
checking whether byte ordering is bigendian... no
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
/bin/bash: [...]/source-nvptx-tools/libiberty/../move-if-change: No such file or directory
checking for sys/file.h... yes
checking for sys/param.h... yes
[...]

To remove code duplication, and under the assumption that we can probably use "more standard" interfaces than libiberty's, maybe it's not actually hard to get rid of libiberty altogether? (It has not yet been assessed which libiberty interfaces we're actually using.)

It's also not possible to regenerate Autotools stuff in the libiberty directory without some further surgery.

For the record, the libiberty/ (and also include/, for that matter) files correspond (modulo minor local changes) to those of GCC trunk r201139 (2013-07-22).

There's some modern C issues with this rather old copy of libiberty too (like -Wimplicit-function-declaration warnings which become fatal in stricter compilers).

Any chance this could be removed, or possibly swapped with gnulib if some bits from it are needed?

My idea is to gradually replace libiberty usage by standard C++ features.

(But I'm not working on that, right now.)

Re the 'const_cast', note that some 'pex_run' usage in GCC does similarly, and
see <https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/exec.html>:

    The 'argv[]' and 'envp[]' arrays of pointers and the strings to which those
    arrays point shall not be modified by a call to one of the 'exec'
    functions, [...]

..., and "The statement about 'argv[]' and 'envp[]' being constants [...]" in
the Rationale section describing the underlying issue.

..., that is, nvptx-tools commit 98e081c,
for GCC commit 7e2de6df10b532be4e66025e318f68a0ebf2c408 (Subversion r265610),
which, with 'ptxas' missing, changed, for example:

    $ ./nvptx-none-as --verify -o o test/as/bare-1.s
    nvptx-as: error trying to exec 'ptxas': execvp: No such file or directory
    nvptx-as: ptxas returned 255 exit status

..., to:

    $ ./nvptx-none-as --verify -o o test/as/bare-1.s
    nvptx-as: execvp: No such file or directory

Manually re-instantiate the lost piece of information.
