Why are you so ignorant?

There are tools that are supposed to run on the build host (like
mkimage or gen_eth_addr), and  there are tools that are supposed to
run on the target (like fw_*).

Your "one size fits all" approach is broken.

Please reconsider.  This has been working for nearly a decade, and now
it's broken.  I want to see this fixed.  If needed, by reverting the
commit that broke it.
