[Bug bootstrap/43301] New: top-level configure script ignores ---with-build-time-tools

["scovich at gmail dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

./configure ... --with-build-time-tools=$MY_TOOLS ignores $MY_TOOLS (though it
correctly warns when $MY_TOOLS is not an absolute path).

Let's just say this led to extremely frustrating behavior until I decided to
start digging...

Suggested patch to correct the problem:
