Yes, I believe it is the same issue.  I can use ldd to see that ar and
friends will be dynamically linked with the newly built libbfd*.so
rather than the one installed in the system.  I read through the
bugzilla listing and the referenced mailing list discussions but I
can't figure out how to resolve this.  Any ideas?

The script I'm using to reproduce this is below.  Running this on
Ubuntu does not error out; strange considering the system-installed
binutils does exhibit the behavior.  Running this on SLES11 does error
out.
