[U-Boot] [PATCH 4/4] tools/env: use host build flags

[Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de>]

Dear Mike Frysinger,

Why are you so ignorant?

There are tools that are supposed to run on the build host (like
mkimage or gen_eth_addr), and  there are tools that are supposed to
run on the target (like fw_*).

Your "one size fits all" approach is broken.

Please reconsider.  This has been working for nearly a decade, and now
it's broken.  I want to see this fixed.  If needed, by reverting the
commit that broke it.

Best regards,
