According to the autoconf manual, you should rearrange the test order,
and test for libintl first prior to bfd, so that $LIBS will already
include -lintl by the time you are ready to test for -bfd.  Also,
AC_CHECK_LIB has a fifth argument (other-libraries); you may want to try:

AC_CHECK_LIB([bfd], [bfd_openr], [...], [...], [-lintl])

if you haven't already guaranteed that -lintl is in $LIBS.
