Thomas,

Problem solved.  The DOWNLOAD_SCP requires two arguments, full path with
filename and filename.

Reading package/pkg-download.mk shows

DOWNLOAD $(FOO_SITE),$(FOO_SOURCE)

but scp seems to need

DOWNLOAD $(FOO_SITE)/$(FOO_SOURCE), $(FOO_SOURCE)

[...]

This is a summary of the ti-tools.mk.

XDC_VERSION=3_16_01_27
XDC_SITE=scp://host:/home/steve/TI_Tools
XDC_SOURCE=xdctools_setuplinux_$(XDC_VERSION).bin

$(DL_DIR)/$(XDC_SOURCE) :
         $(call DOWNLOAD_SCP,$(XDC_SITE)/$(XDC_SOURCE))

Note that you should call DOWNLOAD instead of DOWNLOAD_SCP directly.
This will make sure to respect the primary site and other mechanisms
that are in place.

  Moreover, you should use $(eval $(generic-package)) rather than manual
targets.  If necessary, you can define XDC_EXTRACT_COMMANDS to use a
custom extraction mechanism (i.e., running the .bin file).  But if you're
anyway keeping a local copy of the xdctools, you're better off extracting
it once and repacking it into a tar.bz2. Saves you a lot of pain figuring
out how to run the self-extractor non-interactively in a way that doesn't
mess up your home directory.

  Regards,
  Arnout
