:) You should read your own axiom/README. :)

  FAQ 9: GCL does not build on my system: libbfd.a and bfd.a are missing

  We are using the option \texttt{--enable-statsysbfd} when building GCL
  (see lsp/Makefile) so libbfd.a and bfd.h files are necessary on your
  system.

  On Debian GNU/Linux, the needed package is 'binutils-dev'.


So you need the debian package binutils-dev.

You'll find it at:
http://packages.debian.org/stable/devel/binutils-dev.html  (use Download
button).

To unpack a debian package, follow Camm's guideline:

I hope it helps,
Yours,
d.
