If you run the configure script with --help, this is part of the output:

Some influential environment variables:
  CXX         C++ compiler command
  CXXFLAGS    C++ compiler flags
  LDFLAGS     linker flags, e.g. -L<lib dir> if you have libraries in a
              nonstandard directory <lib dir>
  CPPFLAGS    C/C++ preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir> if you have
              headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
  CC          C compiler command
  CFLAGS      C compiler flags
  CPP         C preprocessor

Try setting LDFLAGS with a '-L<path_to_your_bfd_lib>' and see if that helps.
You may also need to give the path to the headers via CPPFLAGS.
