If they're only required for building blackfin debugging stuff, that shouldn't be a big deal. People building embedded kernels with debugging from source can probably handle the extra requirement. Setting up a cross-compilation toolchain for embedded processors is much trickier than getting xml tools.

If it's a bunch of smaller files, and if changes tend to be localized, that would be a good tradeoff. Alternatively, have them packaged separately, which might be more appropriate anyway if people might want to use them for other purposes (on the host when using jtag, perhaps).
