That will be because Daniel made libiberty/configure.ac invoke
AC_PROG_CPP_WERROR, thus turning cpp warnings into errors.
See http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2003-09/msg00416.html
configure in other dirs doesn't do this.

It is indeed strange that you have linker options being passed to your
cpp.  How are you configuring?  Do you specify CPP or CPPFLAGS,
perhaps via your environment?
