Could this be due to the ginormous number of targets configured into the 
build?

Asking the tools themselves about the list of targets they support, 
compared to a run-off-the-mill default native build from current git 
sources, yields:

>     117     325    2831

That size difference evidently due to the 260+ supported output target 
types in /usr/bin/objdump.exe, compared to 22 in my own build.

To put it another way the individual object files in libbfd.a are of 
quite similar size; there just a whole lot more of them, and that 
explains the difference.
