Why not just do the git submodule command that the error message
from configure suggests? You don't need to manually stick the tarball
into the qemu tree like this.

When I did just that, it said it was not a git repository and returned this error:

fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /home)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

So, the easiest way out, I believe was to clone it from its repositories. Please let me

know the drawbacks of doing this.

(1) You need the development libraries and headers, which for
Ubuntu are in "libfdt-dev", not "device-tree-compiler".
(2) If the system libfdt isn't sufficiently new/correctly built
we won't use it (in particular it has to provide /usr/include/libfdt_env.h)

I had installed libfdt-dev using apt-get but even that did not work, it

returned the same error.
