I experienced the same problem while trying to compile for a BananaPro.

The problem was my system using python3 as default python interpreter.
This causes the _libfdt module being compiled for python3 only. But the
script "./tools/binman/binman", that threw the exception, explicitly
requires python2.

This was on v2017.09 btw.
