Title:
  binutils: Split out libiberty-dev to multiarch paths

Status in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The kernel build-depends on binutils-dev for builds, (because
  libiberty is used for perf in the linux-tools package). This prevents
  automated kernel cross-building because binutils-dev is not Multi-
  Arch: same, and cannot be easily made so due to its dependency on
  binutils. So apt-get --only-source build-dep -a linux fails

  The maintainer's suggested fix is to split out the libiberty static
  library into an M-A: same package, which the kernel can then build-
  depend on.

  The attached patch implements this.
