One purpose of Kconfig is to ensure that only what's neccessary gets built. But cbfstool isn't hooked up to Kconfig. Given that it's not part of the final coreboot build, having extra stuff in cbfstool doesn't affect coreboot in the slightest, so it's not clear to me that we should change that. > It's wrong to pull in anything during build.

In that case: git clone --recurse-submodules and there's not a single extra download going on at build time. I know because I frequently deal with two systems that forbid downloads at build time: qa.coreboot.org and Chromium OS' build infrastructure.

Some people do not want blobs. Some people do not want x86 support. They still carry the baggage when downloading coreboot.
