libiberty is not "part of" bfd. It is "used by" bfd. It is an
independent library used by many projects, including gcc, gdb, bfd,
and others. It has its own headers and libraries, and if you happen
to get one of its functions in a bfd shared object, that's just
coincidence.
Most project using libiberty simply copy the entire libiberty source
tree into their builds.
