A bit of topic, beside the toolchain problems, aren't these
dependencies of the u-boot recipe? The native sdk will pick
them up if any machine needs them (at least in my setup).
Besides of that, do we really want so much dependencies
for u-boot what used to be sed, awk.. and uh find perhaps?
Is all of this needed to just compile u-boot?
