Yes. ctfconvert always needs to be built with the build tree version instead of 
relying on the host version because using the host version will break if/when 
the ctf format between the build and host machine changes. Some care might need 
to be taken with the library dependencies for ctfconvert, but libelf is a 
relatively simple library from what I remember...
