   i'm  not sure why? you mean that my changes will make cygwin depend on
   bfd?

cygwin already depends upon BFD.

prstatus_t is used in bfd/elf.c, so it is ELF specific.  That ELF code
is not used for the cygwin target.

Moreover, the code in bfd/elf.c depends upon having a host header file
which defines the prstatus_t struct.  Therefore, it does not work when
the binutils are configured as a cross toolchain.
