Perhaps you could build the build tools and install them to some
directory under the temporary build directory and use them from there by
adding that directory to $PATH or by calling them with full pathnames. 

Do the build tools in question need to be installed along with the
desired end product, or are they nothing more than integrated build
prerequisites?
