When building host utilities, we include libfdt.h from the host, not from
U-Boot. This in turn brings in libfdt_env.h from the host, which can mess
up the types and cause a build failure, depending on the host environment.
To fix this, force inclusion of U-Boot's libfdt_env.h so that the types
are correct.

Another way to fix this is to use -nostdinc and -idirafter to ensure that
system includes are included after U-Boot ones. Unfortunately this means
that U-Boot's errno.h gets included instead of the system one. This in
turn requires a hack to errno.h to redirect things, so all in all the
solution in this patch is probably cleaner.

This is a very late patch, and I'm not 100% sure this is the best way
to fix it. But with the upstream dtc package we get these errors
without it:

Can this be considered for the release please?

This appears to be a reasonable request to fix an outstanding bug.  I 
don't have time today or tomorrow, but I'll pull in your patch and move 
it forward, Tom willing.

Applied to u-boot/master, thanks!

For me this patch causes a regression that looks like this:

Configuring for sandbox board...
aisimage.c: In function âaisimage_generateâ:
aisimage.c:314: warning: implicit declaration of function âgetlineâ
imximage.c: In function âparse_cfg_fileâ:
imximage.c:424: warning: implicit declaration of function âgetlineâ
kwbimage.c: In function âkwdimage_set_ext_headerâ:
kwbimage.c:236: warning: implicit declaration of function âgetlineâ
pblimage.c: In function âpbl_parserâ:
pblimage.c:119: warning: implicit declaration of function âgetlineâ
ublimage.c: In function âparse_cfg_fileâ:
ublimage.c:179: warning: implicit declaration of function âgetlineâ

Did you not see this?  I see it on ARM, PPC, and sandbox.

Nope.  What toolchains?
