According to the changelogs, BFD_VERSION_STRING was introduced only a
couple of years ago--so I would not be surprised that it's not defined
on some systems. BFD_VERSION, however, has been around since at
least:

* bfd-in.h (BFD_VERSION): Use @VERSION@.
If you're finding versions of BFD that are over a decade old, you
probably shouldn't be using them!
