devel/binutils is at version 2.24, and as of 16-Dec-2013 no longer installs libiberty [1], but does install libbfd, which gets linked against the copy of libiberty (v2.24) in the build tree.
To link an application against libbfd from devel/binutils, one must install devel/gnulibiberty to resolve the missing symbols, but that port uses libiberty from binutils v2.19.1 which doesn't contain all the symbols from v2.24 (e.g. filename_ncmp at a minimum). There is a separate devel/libbfd port that matches the version in devel/gnulibiberty but if your port requires ${LOCALBASE}/libbfd.a and devel/gnulibiberty as build dependencies, and you already have devel/binutils installed, then your port will fail when linking. Should I just mark the port as conflicting with devel/binutils or is there a better workaround for this?
