 This is not what src.conf(5) indicate, WITHOUT_FDT is used to build
loader(8) without FDT support. But it says that when building with
WITH_FDT this will build dtc but this seems wrong.

 There was some discussion to install libfdt but I don't think we came
up with a conclusion other than "No userland tool uses it and if we add
tool to use it we should import it as a private lib".
