No, --with-build-time-tools definitely should not override newly built
tools.
For example, in some bootstrap configurations you have to build GCC more
than once. If you're also installing into a DESTDIR rather than directly
into the configured prefix, you need to use --with-build-time-tools so
that binutils for the target can be found. But when building the second
GCC, the newly built GCC *must* be used to compile its own shared
libraries, not the first-stage GCC that might be installed alongside
binutils in the directory pointed to with --with-build-time-tools. (For
example, the second GCC might be configured --enable-shared, with that
being needed to build shared libgcc and libstdc++, where the first GCC was
configured --disable-shared.)
