Right.
In my old branch, I used u-boot-fw-utils_2011.06. This used to compile
and package fw_printenv(setenv) just fine.
In the new, u-boot-fw-utils-cross_2013.07.bb, fw_printenv is now built
using HOSTCC instead of the cross-compiler. The old recipe used to
include:
EXTRA_OEMAKE = 'HOSTCC="${CC}"'
as u-boot defaults to build everything under tools/ using HOSTC.
Yes; this is intended to be used in the host. I can add support for
use in target as well (or help you to do it).
Honestly I do not understand this change at all? fw_printenv typically
*always* executes on the target since it dumps the contents of the
U-boot environment from a shell. Why would you want to build it for the
host? That does not make sense. Unless host is the same as your target
which I doubt could be considered the normal case, or?
Thanks.

What's the reason for this change? Currently fw_printenv is being built
for my host system, and not the target...
Yes; the way to proper package it for target is from u-boot itself,
not on this recipe.
Further more, fw_printenv does not get packaged. I can see that
fw_printenv is installed in ${WORKDIR}/image, but never moved to
${WORKDIR}/package. I guess that this is caused by inheriting
cross.bbclass?
Am I missing something in my distro config, or have I overlooked
something else? fw_printenv doesn't really make sense for me to run on
the host, and is (in my case) rather essential on the target.
I guess that I'm doing something wrong; can anyone give me some hint on
where to look? Or do we have an issue with the u-boot-fw-utils-cross
recipe?
No, you are right. I can help you to solve it (or solve it and send
you the solution) if you want.
