 It does, at least with the `mips64-linux-gnu' target:

/usr/bin/ld: mips/libsim.a(multi-run.o): in function `sim_engine_run':
multi-run.c:(.text+0x70): undefined reference to `_bfd_elf_mips_mach'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

in a `--enable-shared --disable-static' build.  Please discard this part 
of the change then.
