These sound more like something which would be in buildtools-extended-
tarball. Our rough metric for inclusion in this recipe is whether the
tools are needed by an OE build and these are not, they're only needed
for standalone wic usage. I'm therefore unsure whether we should be
adding them at all.

Any other opinions?
