[U-Boot] [BUG] powerpc: tqm5200: does not compile with current HEAD

[Heiko Schocher]

Hello,

building powerpc based tqm5200 board fails with current HEAD
(at least on fedora host):

pollux:u-boot-tqm5200 hs [master] $ ./tools/buildman/buildman TQM5200S
boards.cfg is up to date. Nothing to do.
Building current source for 2 boards (2 threads, 4 jobs per thread)

Also no chance using ELDK ...

reverting patch:
1905c8fc711a: build: Always build the libfdt python module

and I can again build the TQM5200 board...

Hmm.. first I wonder, why do we need at all such things like SWIG
for a U-Boot build... ? Is this really needed?

Here the Code in tools/Makefile:
# Build a libfdt Python module if swig is available
# Use 'sudo apt-get install swig libpython-dev' to enable this
hostprogs-$(CONFIG_SPL_OF_PLATDATA) += \
         $(if $(shell which swig 2> /dev/null),_libfdt.so)
_libfdt.so-sharedobjs += $(LIBFDT_OBJS)
libfdt:
[...]

Comment says we need swig *and* libpython-dev ... but the check is only
for "swig" ... What is when there is no "libpython-dev" ?

Like on fedora:
# dnf install libpython-dev Last metadata expiration check: 1:50:58 ago on Mon Jan 23 07:49:26 2017.
No package libpython-dev available.
Error: Unable to find a match.

Ok, the following patch applied to mainline, and current HEAD of U-Boot
builds again for the tqm5200 board on my fedora host:

diff --git a/tools/Makefile b/tools/Makefile

Any comments? Ideas?
