People who override bfd.h must have some something wrong. I have
/export/tools/include/bfd.h
/export/tools/mipsel-linux/include/bfd.h
/usr/include/bfd.h
and
/export/tools/lib/libbfd-2.12.90.0.7.so
/export/tools/mipsel-linux/lib/libbfd-2.12.90.0.7.so
/usr/lib/libbfd-2.12.90.0.7.so
They are different. But I have no problems.
