GCC builds a target libiberty pretty much every build, and I've seen
reports that "./configure" is now working.

It should be more like this:

mkdir i686-pc-linux/libiberty
cd i686-pc-linux/libiberty
../../libiberty/configure ...

If done that way, it should get srcdir right, and configure should
work.
