allyesconfig defaults to big endian, which doesn't built the nfit folder
(haven't looked into the dependency chain to see why). I have been
working with Clang and have a local patch to avoid turning on big endian
mode with it for now (avoids a few other warnings for now).

I can send a v2 with that change if you would like.

Thanks for the quick reply,
