I'm not convinced you really want to be shipping libiberty at all.
Every project that uses this library tends to bundle a local copy in
with its source code.

That one is a special case: it wants to stay in the main bison package,
since bison itself is a development tool.  I'm not sure why it is a
static-only library; that might be an error.

I think this is an internal convenience library, not intended for
external use.  Debian doesn't seem to package it at all and I suspect OE
probably shouldn't either.

This is like bison.

Those are probably special.  I'm not quite sure what the deal is with
libstdc++_pic, that would need some further investigation.

As for libiberty above.

The nonshared ones are special.  The others belong in the -static
package.

I think those are all internal convenience libraries and should probably
not be packaged.
