For tools-only_defconfig and "make tools"?
I see that the SSL linking errors vanish, but I still get this instead:
$ make -s tools
/usr/bin/ld: tools/image-host.o: in function `fit_image_setup_sig':

Right, I was just confused because it is still broken for me (see above).

Right, I see.

You should probably send a v4, so that we get Alex' OK for that.
I need to test on actual non-secure hardware tonight, to verify that it
still works (which I strongly assume now, from looking at the code). Then
I would be eager to merge it, since it booted my Remix Mini PC beautifully.

Cheers,
Andre
