binutils build with shared libs

i suggest changing the
- OPTS+=" --host=$BUILD"  &&
+ OPTS+=" --enable-shared --host=$BUILD" &&

in the BUILD script of binutils.

the reason is that some programs needs the shared version of the libbfd library.
by default binutils is built only with static libraries version.
if someone put binutils to zlocal and rebuilds it with --enable-shared then if 
he/she import a new module that use this shared library then it won't compile to
other boxes. My proposal is that we should change this behaviour of binutils.

i would like your opinions
thanks
