ok, Fedora is using linker script in place of libbfd.so which
adds those anyway..

---
[jolsa@...va perf]$ cat /usr/lib64/libbfd.so 
/* GNU ld script */

/* Ensure this .so library will not be used by a link for a different format
   on a multi-architecture system.  */
OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf64-x86-64)

/* The libz dependency is unexpected by legacy build scripts.  */
/* The libdl dependency is for plugin support.  (BZ 889134)  */
INPUT ( /usr/lib64/libbfd.a -liberty -lz -ldl )
---

we also need to check and probably get rid of follow up settings of
EXTLIBS which seems useless now:

...
    ifneq ($(feature-libbfd), 1)
      $(call feature_check,liberty)
      ifeq ($(feature-liberty), 1)
        EXTLIBS += -lbfd -liberty
      else
        $(call feature_check,liberty-z)
        ifeq ($(feature-liberty-z), 1)
          EXTLIBS += -lbfd -liberty -lz
...
