[Bug 426614] Re: oprofile should not link libbfd dynamically

Fabrice: Why do you think that oprofile should link libbfd dynamically?

 - The binutils-dev description is clear that you shouldn't do link dynamically
 - Linking dynamically is an Ubuntu-specific patch (that lacks any helpful explanation of why it's there)
 - This package has now broken repeatedly due to libbfd upgrades

>From my perspective, all signs are pointing towards linking statically,
and I can't come up with any justification for why we should be linking
dynamically.
