Every other library uses it. Remember that libiberty does dependencies differently so that when building in $srcdir it doesn't have to copy everything. If automake means a reliance on VPATH, we can't use it. That's partly why libiberty has its own "make maint-deps" - so that it can set up explicit dependencies on the right files. We also build two libraries - the regular one, and one that includes the otherwise omitted functions (for testing). Otherwise, I have no objection to automake, as long as it functions the same afterwards.
