No.
I think we have different opinions here.

I think that any of *board* configs should build only all the binaries
that are need to run U-Boot on that board.
For distros' case that you have mentioned before, we should
encourage them to use tools-only_defconfig for packaging U-Boot
host tools rather than using any particular *board* config.

# In either case, the resulting binary, as far as mkeficapsule is
concerned, is the exact same without any dependency of target configs.

I'm not sure what your point is.

I believe that what you and Simon demand in building any host tool
is that the binary be the same whatever target configs are enabled
(or disabled).
So showing "-f, --fit <fit image>       new FIT image file" unconditionally
is a natural consequence.

It doesn't make sense that CONFIG_TOOLS_MKEFICAPSULE selects
any of target configs explicitly.

Furthermore, I don't have "#ifdef CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE" in mkeficapsule.c.
# there is some trick around CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE in tools/Kconfig, though.
