If they're only required for building blackfin debugging stuff, that
shouldn't be a big deal. People building embedded kernels with debugging
from source can probably handle the extra requirement. Setting up a
cross-compilation toolchain for embedded processors is much trickier than
getting xml tools.

If it's a bunch of smaller files, and if changes tend to be localized,
that would be a good tradeoff. Alternatively, have them packaged
separately, which might be more appropriate anyway if people might want to
use them for other purposes (on the host when using jtag, perhaps).
