As Gustavo pointed out (maybe on IRC ?), BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_ELF2FLT
should simply be removed. There is no need to have a Kconfig option to
host tools when they can simply be built as a dependency of something
else (which is the case here).
The only case for which we add a Kconfig option for host tools is when
this host tool is not built as a dependency of something else, and that
the user may still be interested in building it.
Best regards,
Thomas
