Yeah, that would be my preference.  libiberty is already a kitchen sink,
has been handled that way for many years, and creating a new kitchen sink
library is both overkill and will not make it a kitchen sink if only
this dwarf strings stuff is added to that and all the other kitchen sink
stuff stays in libiberty.
