Thank you, but I was unhappy with the situation.

I redid the patch:
- Source build now do make install, then uses same steps as pre-built after the "make install".
- Prebuilt now uses the installed directory. --with-binutils-src={installation_directory}
- Checking for API break now works on system also.

* Since libz is not installable from a binutils build, we have to use the system libz.

Source works with 2.30/2.38/trunk (and incremental source configure do not need to re-build)
Prebuilt works with 2.30/2.38/trunk
System works

AFAICT everything now is working.
But with two caveats:
- zlib mentioned above.
- you must configure with "--enable-install-libiberty" and install that if you are building your self.

@magicus ? :)
