Yes. /tools/bin should be at the front of your PATH. If you're just
going to use the host's tools, then you might as well skip Ch. 5. That
would defeat a major part of what's going on, though. We go to great
pains to make sure that your host toolchain has the absolute minimum
influence on your final system.

You also shouldn't be root in Ch. 5. The main reason for doing this is
so you don't inadvertently mangle your host. FBBG.
