The libiberty part is fine except for xcrealloc. That name clearly
shouldn't have a 'c' in it. Also, it doesn't seem to fit the general
copying of C++ names. In C++ there isn't realloc to correpond to new
and delete. Still, I suppose C needs realloc. But we can't use
xrealloc, because that is taken. So how about xresize?
