Like it or not, you can't compile readelf without bfd. The binutils
header files depend on bfd. It is misleading to say readelf doesn't
use bfd. All ELF related features in binutils don't build without bfd.
I don't want a shell script to extract members from a 100MB archive.
I may even not have the disk space or permission to put them.
