Isn't that a bug in binutils for not having a proper SONAME and
SOVERSION for libbfd?
If you need to link libbfd statically then you need to get binutils to
provide a libbfd-pic package containing a libbfd-pic.a that is
compiled with -fPIC. Otherwise, as you noticed, non i386 archs will
fail to link.
