I wanted to keep things simple, ie just require a distro
version of libfdt to be installed the way upstream say it
should be, rather than second-guessing whether a broken
libfdt is or isn't going to work with our libfdt_env.h.
Also, a lot of people out there are probably going to end
up building against the submodule libfdt, so it's helpful
to have at least some of the qemu developers building that
way too...

...it helps reveal bugs like this one before release
rather than afterwards. I'm having trouble figuring out
why it doesn't work, though (I usually run with at least
j3 and it's fine, plus the makefile rules are pretty
simple) -- can you reproduce with V=1 so we can see what
commands are actually being run?
