It depends on libbfd & libiberty, but unlike things like gdb it does not come bundled with them. What's the proper FreeBSD way to handle something like this? Do I just download a binutils distribution & build it from within the port? Given that binutils is already in the source tree, it seems a little odd that the bfd libraries & headers are never installed..
