I've contacted upstream (Soeren Sandmann) about this and he definitely 
recommends statically linking against libbfd and says additionally:
"""I think bfd using apps in general should do that. On Fedora,
"-lbfd" does that by default, so I'd suggest doing the same on
Ubuntu/Debian.

Since this is not a problem with sysprof trunk, which doesn't depend
on libbfd at all, and not a problem on Fedora, I think it makes more
sense to just let Ubuntu/Debian patch this issue.

I am not really opposed to taking a patch to make it link libbfd
statically on Ubuntu, but I don't have any more stable releases
planned for the 1.0 series, unless it gets broken by a kernel update."""
