Here is the problem with host tools living along side configurable binaries and sharing code. With respect to mkimage, FIT support is non-optional. The only reason that FIT signature stuff is optional is that it introduces too high of a set of dependencies for everyone else to have installed to even compile mkimage which is in turn required by the vast majority of targets. If the failing message that we couldn't run dtc is not clear enoguh, I am happy to take a patch to make the problem and solution clearer. I would go so far as to say that requiring bison and m4 (along with dtc) to already be compiled in buildroot is not a step too far, but I'm an OpenEmbedded guy so it's possible I'm just dependency-happy :) Thanks! -- Tom
