 Actually, no. The _SITE_METHOD is not needed at all because the _SITE starts
with git://.

 However, the git download method will create a gzipped tarball and save it as
OPENOCD_SOURCE. But then the tar extraction will try to extract it as if it's a
bzip2. That is the failure.

 Bottom line: remove the _SOURCE definition, or change the .bz2 into .gz.
