  Because ports doesn't have custom `make install'. And makefiles from
  binutils' authors install these files in case some other util could
  want to use them for standard disassemble operations, for example.
  But I don't know such utils. We have problem like this with `*.la'
  files from libtool. And we have special option for ports system to
  fix makefiles after libtool to disable `*.la' installation (it
  doesn't work in some cases, but works in MOST cases).

  I don't know how to properly prevent installation of these files
  except creating personal patch for every binutils port.

  Like so. Any modern versions of binutils & gcc adds target prefix for
  these files.
