I'm confused.  If you're just trying to build GDB, why are you
running "make check" ?

libiberty is maintained by the gcc folks, you'll have
to report this there.  Could even be a compiler bug.

If you want to test gdb, you can run "make -k check" so the testing
keeps going to other components, or "make check-gdb", or just
cd into the gdb build dir, and issue "make check" there.
