I didn't find any MTD header in the kfreebsd package.
Eventually FreeBSD uses a different mechanism to access flash devices.
Would someone know whether this is supposed to build under freebsd?
Probably not. The whole design is Linux based - this also applies to the "mtdparts" concept used to define and edit flash devices and partitions in U-Boot, which then passes a suitable "mtdargs" boot argument to the Linux kernel. I doubt that FreeBSD uses a compatible implementation.
If not, does it make sense to ifdef out the MTD uses in fw_env.c? (I think it's also possible to interact with real files containing the environment.)
If not, I guess this should be removed from tools-all is mtd/mtd-user.h isn't found; is there any recommendation in doing this?
Even if you are building in a *BSD environment, you could still be building for a Linux target system. After all, the fw_env.* tools are target tools, which should not depend on the host environment.
