One remaining option is to change BFD to use gnulib as well.

This is workable as long as gdb never tries to use an out-of-tree
library that uses struct stat (or a stat-derived time_t) as part of its
API.  To my knowledge gdb is currently safe on this front.  I'd guess it
seems likely to remain safe too, though of course one can't be certain.
