Maybe. I have no libfdt headers on my host. This patch fixes the
failures caused by host-dtc (ver 1.4.7) and older u-boot or kernel
versions.
Building an older kernel without libfdt headers on the host works (it
uses the libfdt from the kernel) as long as host-dtc is not selected.

Just creating a /usr/include/[libfdt/]libfdt_env.h with a single #error
does not  prevent a u-boot-2016.09.01 build, so I suppose the include
paths are ok.

I expect this to be a temporary fix until all targets use a recent u-
boot and kernel.
