Title:
  Install PIC version of libbfd.a

Status in “binutils” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Like Bug #50512, there should be the PIC version of libbfd.a.

  The reason is as follows:

  1. As required, we need to link statically to libbfd (see linux-tools:
  perf should link statically to libbfd Bug #783660)

  2. we need to build libopagent correctly, which uses libbfd with
  static link (see oprofile: symbol lookup error:
  /usr/lib/libopagent.so: undefined symbol: bfd_init Bug #1148682)

  3. But currently, libopagent aren't built correctly causing the symbol
  lookup error. That's because OProfile's patches/static-libbfd-
  libopagnet-makefile.patch disables static linking to libbfd (possibly,
  as a quick work around):
