Yes, I had the same problem.
configure script checks for libbfd.la (libtool library?) not for libbfd.a
or .so or anything.
I dont know is that correct behaviour, but I copied another libtool
library and changed its contents to match libbfd (or I just used libtool
to generate that, do not remember :) . Anyway, that works for me.

(The "source" of configure in "configure.ac")
contents of my recently created /usr/lib/libbfd.la
