As part of the subset of files in include/ that are shared between the GCC 
and src repositories, it is part of libiberty and any associated library 
facilities belong in libiberty.  For what files in libiberty claim to be 
parts of, see <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-06/msg01286.html> (which 
however may only have addressed libiberty/ and not include/).
