01/08/10 15:59, Joerg Wunsch ???????(??):
I'm also maintaining a port of libbfd which is used by some AVR
toolchain software.  This port is set up in a "kitchensink" way, so
all possible binary file formats are included.  This could perhaps
serve as a base for a generic GNU libbfd package to be used by other
GNU stuff if desired.  Note that it requires GNU libiberty to be
installed as well (freelibiberty won't do), as libbfd uses
undocumented GNU libiberty functions.:-(
Hi, Joerg! Yes, this is why I added you to CC, and I do think, that the common libbfd ought to have all of the known targets included. Even altogether they use very little space -- less, than having to add just one more flavor separately (even multiplied by the probability of ever having to do that :)

As for GNUberty, well... Maybe, some day, we'll add those functions to the liberfreety (or patch bfd to avoid them). Until then -- use the GNU's code as we do elsewhere...

Yours,

   -mi
