[Buildroot] [PATCH] package/dtc: do not install headers for the host version

Carlos, All,

Besides the fact that some host packages do require the headers (as
explained in my previous reply), there is a more profound issue here:
what is even the point in installing the library if its headers are not
installed?

Either the library is used, in which case we have to also install the
headers, or the library is not used, in which case we should just
install the program(s).

But the library is used by external programs, like host-qemu, and maybe
also by programs in br2-external trees.

So, I'm even less convinced by this change now than I was yesterday...

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
