Right, but some distros do.  We don't support them, but they do.

In general, we are, but not enough for .so's.

I'd rather use something compatible with all the other libraries, so
that things are more likely to "just work".  Having extra files in
toplevel just for libiberty, when everyeone else is doing something
different, is bad.

Plus, if someone *does* want to make a libiberty.so for themselves,
this would make it a bit easier for them.
