Agree. It is weird that tools depend on board configuration. I think sources under tools/ should not depend on any CONFIG macros. But, in fact, they do. tools/envcrc.c and tools/env/fw_env.h even include <config.h>. It is true we could "make tools" prior to Kbuild. But tools/mkimage created in that way is different from the one with board configuration. Cross tools is used to extract CONFIG macros from include/configs/<board>h. If we could switch to Kconfig, such a gimmick would be deleted.
