Build tools are most of the time so small or trivial (gcc is
probably the exception, before that perl probably was) that
building them again is lost in creating the rescue bits itself.
We could possibly copy the object directory of those tools that
have build tools, but if there are paths embedded in generated
scripts, we have to regenerate them anyway.

What about this: rebuild the build tools to get things sorted
out and working and then look if we can optimize?
