Description of problem:
The symlink libbfd.so -> /usr/lib/libbfd-2.13.90.0.18.so is missing.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. gcc ... -liberty -lbfd ...
2.

Workaround: create the symlink by hand.
Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2004-10-07 10:29:37 UTC 
No, that's on purpose.  There is just libbfd.a.
libbfd has no stable ABI and if packages other than binutils itself
use libbfd.so, they'd prevent any binutils upgrades.
