This is fine, but I wonder whether a cross-reference to the BFD manual
will make it even better. AFAICS, we mention "BFD" several times in
the manual, but never say anything about it except that it's a library
for reading binary files. Perhaps having an xref here is more
appropriate than in other places, since whoever would like to use this
command needs to know more about BFD than any other reader.
Thanks.
