Thanks. Turns out I found where "Bad string" was coming from - there's
a call to "uname -s | tr" in dtc/Makefile and that is known not to work
in Solaris 10.. So I just replaced that with "HOSTOS=SunOS" and that
took care of that. dtc compiled just fine.

Now I'm getting a "ld: fatal: unrecognized option '--'" linking libfdt
so I'm going to try a different linker.

Onward :-)
