This happens because hw/ppc/meson.build does: ppc_ss.add(when: 'CONFIG_FDT_PPC', if_true: [files( 'fdt.c', ), fdt]) ie if CONFIG_FDT_PPC is set then both * add fdt.c to the build * add the 'fdt' dependency (which brings in the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS necessary for libfdt). So yes, at the moment for PPC there are only two options: * board doesn't use FDT at all * board uses FDT and gets hw/ppc/fdt.c linked in even if it doesn't use the functions there Since fdt.c currently has just one not very large function (which is only even present if TARGET_PPC64) this doesn't seem like a big deal, but in theory the "need libfdt" and "need fdt.c" parts could be decoupled. thanks -- PMM
