Copying the R5 tools is OK for the time being. I also don't think we'll ever 
integrate the binutils/GCC build into the image creation process. We'll 
probably provide a script to build the tools for Haiku and add an option to 
our build system to copy the respective files to the image.

Please don't forget to file a bug report, if you encounter those. :-)
