            Bug ID: 27113
           Summary: libdep not correctly loaded on Windows
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.36 (HEAD)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: binutils
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: markus.boeck02 at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

Recent versions introduced libdep which on Windows is installed in
root/bfd-plugins/libdep.dll. Problem is that along with it libdep.dll.a is also
installed which various tools in binutils attempt to load. This is problematic
as it is not a shared library and Windows opens a message box due to attempted
execution of a non executable image.

Since libdep.dll is a plugin could it be that libdep.dll.a is not supposed to
exist? Or should it be ignored by various binutils tools
