Package: binutils
Version: 2.16.1cvs20051109-1
Severity: minor

libopcodes.so references a few symbols from libbfd (the exact set will
vary by architecture, but bfd_get_arch should appear always):

$ nm --dynamic /usr/lib/libopcodes-2.16.91.so | grep ' U '
         U abort
         U bfd_get_arch
         U dcgettext
         U longjmp
         U memcpy
         U memset
         U _setjmp
         U sprintf
         U strcat
         U strchr
         U strcpy
         U strlen

However, it does not declare a dependency on libbfd:

$ ldd /usr/lib/libopcodes-2.16.91.so
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0x4ebd3000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)

This causes minor problems, notably with prelink, which will complain
about "undefined non-weak symbols" and not give any program depending
on libopcodes the full benefit of prelinkage.

You can fix this by including the just-built libbfd.so on the link line
for libopcodes.so.  It would also be a good idea to apply -Wl,--as-needed.
