This is fine, but I wonder whether a cross-reference to the BFD manual will make it even better. AFAICS, we mention "BFD" several times in the manual, but never say anything about it except that it's a library for reading binary files. Perhaps having an xref here is more appropriate than in other places, since whoever would like to use this command needs to know more about BFD than any other reader. Thanks.
