[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] configure: fix ambiguous 'DTC not present' message

[Antony Pavlov]

The word "DTC" (device tree compiler) sometimes
sounds ambiguous.

"DTC not present" sounds like "dt compiler
not present" but QEMU does not need the dt compiler
itself but only libfdt library from DTC distribution.

The phrase "Install the DTC devel package" seems
confusing as dt compiler is a development tool itself.
In the Debian distribution there are separate
'libfdt' and 'device-tree-compiler' packages;
moreover the Debian 'device-tree-compiler' package
does not depend on libfdt.
