No, if the program itself is DFSG-free but requires non-free tools to build it belongs to contrib. Policy says: <-- snip --> 2.1.3.

Unless there are some free build tools? If the build-tools are found in the Debian non-free archive, then contrib. If you have to compile this on your local machine, and the tools are not in Debian, then non-free. That's just MHO, but I think it fits. Remember in the latter case (non-free), you have to supply the compiled ROM aswell as the source, in the .tar.gz. We need to be able to rebuild the package without the tools.
