I don't want to run build.sh tools because that would create a new set of tools
right? My situation is that I already have the compiler, linker,etc and want to
use them to build the Netbsd tree. If I set USETOOLS=no, would it use the
default host tools(compiler, linker,etc)? That I don't want either. I am running
on a AMD linux host machine and need to cross compile for MIps platform. I would
like to have a way to let NetBSD build know to pick my own compiler, linker,...
to build the source tree.
