Description Havoc Pennington 2003-04-17 20:22:26 UTC 
Package doesn't contain libbfd.so, but libbfd.la still contains a reference 
to it which confuses libtool when you're trying to statically link.

<lxo> hp_: deleting the link does indeed make sense in this case, but then one
should probably delete the .la file as well, or at least tweak it so as to
reflect the fact that only static linking is available
Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2004-10-07 10:30:36 UTC 
Current binutils don't contain libbfd.la nor libopcodes.la.
