Well, tracegen might, since it's used in QtCore. I forgot about it.
rcc isn't used for QtCore any more.

Ok, so to clarify:
All builds should bootstrap only the tools that are needed to compile QtCore.
The other tools should link to QtCore, not to the bootstrap lib.
A cross-compiling build needs to use a host tool set, for all tools, because
all tools it builds are for the target and therefore can't be run in the host
system.
