Yes, this is suspicious.  Of course, we know as of the present bfd
should be an *option*.  Required on any of the new elf platforms, but
ix386 should work if configure finds no bfd.  Which looks to be the
case here.

Here is the configure.in part:

AC_CHECK_HEADER(bfd.h,
        AC_CHECK_LIB(bfd,bfd_init,
                AC_DEFINE(HAVE_LIBBFD)
                LIBS="$LIBS -lbfd -liberty"
                ,,-liberty))


I.e., you've got bfd.h, but a program cannot find the bfd_init routine
when linked against -lbfd -liberty.  Check you're configure.log to see
why.  Are these libraries called something different on your system?
On Debian, there is no libbfd 'package', its part of 'binutils'.

Take care,
