The dtc is run from the wrapper script, so if you build for a platform
that uses a dts source file, then you'll need the dtc. If you don't
build for one of those platforms, then you won't needed it.
So a 'make allXXXconfig' needs the dtc to be installed since it
builds platforms that use dts source files.
