I've just uploaded a new version of the sysprof package. This should fix
the problem for some time but, it will eventually reappear at the next
release of libbfd. I think that a real solution would be to manage to
get rid of this dependency, or at least link statically with it. If you
love sysprof and are willing to do it, please consider my RFA (#445205).

Cheers,

Samuel.
