Inheriting $PATH during the build phase can cause the build to fail when
compiling on a different system due to missing build tools or incompatible
versions somewhere in $PATH. This has cause build failures for us before
due to the jenkins slaves still running FreeBSD 10.
Listing the tools we depend on explicitly instead of just using whatever
happens to be in $PATH allows us to check that we don't accidentally add a
new build dependency.
All tools that do no need to be bootstrapped will now be symlinked to
${WORLDTMP}/legacy/bin and during the build phase $PATH will only contain
${WORLDTMP}. There is also a new variable "BOOTSTRAP_ALL_TOOLS" which can
be set to force compiling almost all bootstrap tools instead of symlinking
them. This will not bootstrap tools such as cp,mv, etc. since they may be
used during the build and for those we should really only be using POSIX
compatible options.
Furthermore, this change is required in order to be able to build on
non-FreeBSD hosts. While the same binaries may exist on Linux/MacOS they
often accept different flags or produce incompatible output.

FreeBSD
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
