The ones in gnu/usr.sbin make use of libbfd, in order to gain more platform
independence.  They're used from src/tools/{dbsym,mdsetimage} as host tools.

The BSD-licensed ones are currently kept because some people wanted the BSD
licensed code to remain actively available, for the moment (objecting to a
one-way migration to using libbfd).
