According to https://github.com/linux-sunxi/sunxi-tools/tree/master/bin they added these in order to avoid cross compilation... http://linux-sunxi.org/Sunxi-tools describes what they are. They don't seem to be installed in the first place - so I'd just remove them. bin/fel-pio.bin : ARM binary to be put on the SD card on the target bin/fel-pio.nm : symbols bin/fel-sdboot.sunxi : ARM binary to be put on the SD card on the target bin/jtag-loop.sunxi : ARM binary to be put on the SD card on the target bin/ramboot.scr : a u-boot configuration binary (created by mkimage) for the target bin/ramboot.uboot-sh : not actually a binary; for the target There are also build instructions how to build those contained in the source code as comment at the top, for example in https://github.com/linux-sunxi/sunxi-tools/blob/master/fel-pio.c which is included. I don't think a normal user needs those (and I never needed those). I'd just omit them.
