[Franklin] My understanding was the only reason this was needed is to enable
developers to be able to compile
dsp code and opencl code on the target for some reason especially since those
are very powerful processors with a lot of memory.
Unless something change this wasn't something we cared to enabled on 335x and
437x. No big deal doing it as long as the file system is bloated but I have no
idea who really was going to use this/test this for those platforms.
Some Linaro tests does use make in the target. e.g.
