Adding to the ABI is permissible as long as you don't make any
backward-incompatible changes to either the API or ABI.

However, why doesn't the gnu demangler support sun's mangled names?
It would be a better contribution to add such support, then you'd only
need one demangler.

Of course, if you're willing to use objcopy anyway, perhaps you could
use it to modify the ABI for sun's demangler.

(Patches to libiberty should go to gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org as well, too.)
