Nothing in /usr/src/tools gets installed. Nothing in /usr/src/tools
needs to be built as part of a make world. Make world does use
/usr/src/tools/install.sh to populate the object directory.
/usr/src/tools is part of the source tree and therefore present when
doing a make world.

In short: I don't see the problem. Am I missing something?
