New description:

 I just noticed that when using the crossbinutils PortGroup, one ends up
 with:
 {{{
   /opt/local/${target}/host/lib/libiberty.a
   /opt/local/include/libiberty/*.h
 }}}
 The first one is not problematic, but files under `$prefix/include` are
 because any given binutils port would install that.

 I found a related commit:
 * https://github.com/macports/macports-
 ports/commit/bcdf26e5b403a4291f3c241f19e33eb86d7ca538

 Judging from the fact that bfd installs
 {{{
   /opt/local/${host}/bin/ld.bfd
   /opt/local/${host}/host/include/*.h
   /opt/local/${host}/host/lib/libbfd.a
   /opt/local/${host}/host/lib/libbfd.la
 }}}
 I guess that some recent update of binutils broke the `reinplace` patch.

 This requires:
 * a patch in the portgroup to fix the problem
 * a revbump (or ideally upgrade) of all affected `*-binutils` ports
 * probably a bit more testing with a couple of different binutils versions

 Maybe the older versions are not even affected and a fix would break older
 ports, I'm not sure.
