This is very strange.  I have not seen it before.  Could you try doing a 
clean and then a rebuild to see if it is not some funny glitch with the 
filesystem ?

If the problem persists, then please can you find out some more 
information about this libbfd.la file.  How big is it ?  Is a valid 
archive ?  What is the format of the files inside the archive ?  Were 
there any errors building it ?

Cheers
