--- Comment #4 from Iain Sandoe <iains at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
there seems to be a fundamental inconsistency here;

* libiberty is configured (and determines the availability of the POSIX
basename).  If that is not found, then it provides and publishes the fall-back
(but that has the const char * signature).

* libiberty.h depends on configured values, but does not install or include the
config.h that was determined when it was built.

* GCC builds a config.h which uses a different test from the one used by
libiberty's configure to decide on the availability of basename.

* So now what is published by libiberty.h depends on GCC's config.h which was
built using different criteria from those determined at libiberty-build-time.

In this case, (basename) the result becomes visible when we include a valid
system header, one wonders if there are more subtle cases.

Does anyone know why libiberty doe not install the build-time config file and
have libiberty.h include it?
