Isn't bfd normally used as a static lib? If so, then only gdb would suffer the extra "bloat", which is needed anyway. Perhaps the only real bad effect would added build time.
i guess you're implying that the option "--enable-shared" is discouraged and effectively not supported ?
Where did you get that from? Where does always adding elf.lo suddenly turns into "discouraged" and "not supported" ?
The "Isn't bfd normally used as a static lib?" part was a real question. Notice the *normally*.
