Comment(by simonmar):
I'm guessing that you have a static `libbfd.a` on your system, but no
shared version, correct? It looks like `libbfd` depends on `libz`. We
link against `libbfd` in the DEBUG version of the RTS, to get access to
the addresses of symbols, and we test that `-lbfd` works in the configure
script, but I imagine that because you have a static `libbfd` that the
test doesn't link in the bit that needs `libz` and thus succeeds.
The easiest workaround is for you to install a shared `libbfd`. We could
fix the configure test, but I'm not sure how to do it properly.
