To fix this issue: -
I cloned dtc from its repository<http://git.qemu-project.org/?p=dtc.git;a=snapshot;h=1760e7ca03894689118646e229ca9487158cd0e8;sf=tgz>and extracted the tarball to qemu/dtc/. - Compiled dtc from source first using make - Restarted configuring qemu. The problem was qemu tries to search for dtc binaries in qemu/dtc. Even if you have installed dtc using sudo apt-get install device-tree-compiler, you will get the above error(mentioned in the question), so you probably need to have the binaries in qemu/dtc.
