We have several targets in the PPC tree now that basically require libfdt to function properly, namely the pseries and the e500 targets. This dependency will rather increase than decrease in the future, so I want to make sure that people building shiny new 1.0 actually have libfdt installed to get rid of a few ifdefs in the code.
Warning: This patch will likely make configure fail for people who don't select their own --target-list, but don't have libfdt development packages installed. However, we really need this new dependency to move on.
