tools/firmware-utils/src/mksercommfw.c depends on the zip-tool to generate the
firmwareimage.

   /* now that we got the rootfs, repeat the whole thing again(sorta):
    * 1. zip the rootfs */
   char *zipper = malloc(5 + 2*strlen(rootfs.file_name) + 4);
   sprintf(zipper, "%s %s %s", "zip ", zipfsname, rootfs.file_name);
   int ret = system(zipper);

Check that the zip command is installed on the host.

Thinking of this again, I wonder if it would be the proper way to build the 
zip-tool as y host-command like we do for tar and xz?
