Hi there,
There is a slight gotcha in the building of libbfd.a. It is built and installed
with libtool, which is fine for bfd itself, as well as for the other modules in
the Cygnus tree that link against it using libtool (binutils, gas, ld).
However, other modules in the Cygnus tree that don't use libtool (such as gdb)
link against libbfd.a in the bfd build directory, while bfd's libtool tucks it
away in .libs. There is currently a kludge in bfd's Makefile to copy it to the
build directory specifically to solve this problem. The problem is that it
forgets to ranlib the new copy, which makes it unusable to 4.3BSD's native ld.
The patch below fixes it.
