Could it be related to the warnings I got from libtool during the
build:


  /bin/sh ./libtool  --tag=CC    --mode=link gcc -W -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wshadow -Wstack-usage=262144 -Wno-format -Werror  -O2 -gdwarf-4 -g3       -release `cat libtool-soversion`   -Wl,--stack,12582912 -o libbfd.la -rpath d:/usr/lib archive.lo archures.lo bfd.lo bfdio.lo bfdwin.lo  cache.lo coff-bfd.lo compress.lo corefile.lo elf-properties.lo  format.lo hash.lo init.lo libbfd.lo linker.lo merge.lo  opncls.lo reloc.lo section.lo simple.lo stab-syms.lo stabs.lo  syms.lo targets.lo binary.lo ihex.lo srec.lo tekhex.lo  verilog.lo `cat ofiles`  d:/usr/lib/libintl.a d:/usr/lib/libiconv.a  -lz

  libtool: link: warning: undefined symbols not allowed in i686-pc-mingw32 shared libraries

     Same warning in opcodes and in ibctf.

I ignored those, because they don't prevent the build, but maybe
libtool acted as if --enable-shared was specified, without me saying
so?
