Yes. Gcc uses the support functions it provides. It's compiled and
statically linked in to the new gcc.

You've lost me there. I thought you said you were compiling gcc? Or do you
mean you're doing it as part of a combined-tree-build?
In any case, libiberty is vital. And small and quick to build. 'fraid I
don't have much useful advice on how to cut down your build times except maybe
to use a --disable-checking compiler.
