Maybe not so hairy.

from avr32-gdb.spec :

# Remove the files that are part of a gdb build but that are owned and
# provided by other packages.
# These are part of binutils

%__rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/share/locale/
%__rm -f $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_infodir}/bfd*
%__rm -f $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_infodir}/standard*
%__rm -f $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_infodir}/mmalloc*
%__rm -f $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_infodir}/configure*
%__rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/include/
%__rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_libdir}/lib{bfd*,opcodes*,iberty*,mmalloc*}


If my, as yet limited understanding of this process is correct, it seems 
that they are using the binutils bfd.

Make sense?
