Hi Alastair It seems that packages should statically link libbfd and not use the shared libbfd.
See the package description of binutils-dev [1]: Package: binutils-dev (2.35.1-1) GNU binary utilities (BFD development files) This package includes header files and static libraries necessary to build programs which use the GNU BFD library, which is part of binutils. Note that building Debian packages which depend on the shared libbfd is Not Allowed.
