No.  I'm claiming that moving to gnulib is work (even if perhaps not 
much?) and change and I (personally) don't see the need to invest into 
that work and deal with the change.  Had you asked "should I look into 
using gnulib in bfd" my answer would have been "well, try it, why not?".  
But you asked "should _we_ look" (aka should someone do that), hence my 
answer was in the line of "perhaps, but why bother?".

So, I'm not at all doubting that gnulib would be fit for the purpose, it 
most likely is.  It just seems (to me!) like a solution in search for a 
problem.


Ciao,
Michael.
