It is there, but the sourceware import (commit
252b5132c753830d5fd56823373aed85f2a0db63) effectively recreates the tree.
See:

You need to look behind 1730ec6b1848f0f32154277f788fb29f88d8475b for
any pre-1999 changes.  FWIW 4a81b56152631cda9dc351cb4d2f61f395ee4414
is the first revision of bfd.

Thanks,
