OK, getting back to this problem.  The only reasonable solutions I see
are to a) only install libbfd.a and headers when host == target, or
b) install normally when host == target, and install as
$target_alias-libbfd.a and $target_alias-bfd.h etc. otherwise.
Case b) is similar to the way we install tools like objdump.

Otherwise you need to supply different prefixes or you'll overwrite
libbfd.a and headers when compiling for different targets.
