What kind of machine are you building this on ?

This appears to be a configuration bug.  If you have a look at the
source file bfd/configure.in you will see that it selects different
kinds of core file support depending upon the target triple.  For
BSD based hosts it ought to be selecting netbsd-core rather than
trad-core, so to fix this you need to know what you host is, and then
fix the configure file appropriately.

Cheers
