Even though I'm an enthusiastic Emacs user, I have different reasons for my vote. As far as build dependencies go, I'd like to restrict this to the LSB standard[1]. Xdd is not in there, so thats why I vote for the small C program (unless we can adapt the script and use 'od').
I think sticking to LSB for build dependencies is a very reasonable choice.
I still don't think the small C program is that much of a problem:
1) dependency tracking should ensure it is only built when the license feature is enabled by the board-level config. I think this will be a minority case.
2) compilation of native programs has already to be possible since there are other native tools such as mkimage built during the compilation
