patch

obsolete

>(1) Recent binutils include support for compressed sections which requires zlib.
>
>(2) Fedora provides only static libbfd.a (not libbfd.so) for 3rd party
>    applications linking.
>
>    (2a) libbfd does not keep API/ABI compatibility.
>
>    (2b) Version-bumping the library on each change would create either a lot
>         of multiply installed versions of libfd or breaking dependencies of
>         the built packages against libbfd.so
>
>(3) Fedora does not provide libtool scripts in general (libbfd.la in this case).
>
>As .a libraries cannot provide their depdendency list on themselves it needs to
>be cared of by the application using them.  Patch attached.
