Hmm I don't think Debian nor Ubuntu provide static bfd though; I
remember asking that recently to Matthias Klose because the current
shared libbfd generate painfully tight dependencies for packages like
oprofile, or more recently the linux-tools' "perf" utility.

Sounds great; we shall just move to -63 for armel then; we will see
whether that works fine with thumb2 binaries!
As you note, it's a bit early to speak about armhf; let's see what
happens :)
