So, there should be a config.log file lying around in the target's libiberty
directory.  Near the end there will be an error when trying to compile a test
file.  You need to find out why you got that error and correct it.

I've had similar problems when building the libchill, libf2c, and
libobj libraries with a c4x cross compiler.  In my case this error
message is caused when configure fails to determine the executable
suffix after compiling and linking a test program.  This happens
whenever the default crt object file has not been previously
installed.  Now one could argue that this shouldn't be needed to build
these libraries.
