Depends how you do it.

If you run "EXTRACT_ALL=1 ./download.sh" then it extracts everything  
into the package cache (build/packages) and applies the patches up  
front, before running host-tools.sh. Later builds reuse the package  
cache if the sources/patches and packages directories haven't changed.

If you just do ./build.sh with an empty/nonexistent build directory, it  
extracts packages as needed, so it builds host-tools long before  
extracting the kernel. So in that case, it would use the toybox patch.

Both should work, though.

If you use more/buildall.sh it'll do EXTRACT_ALL=1 as part of the  
setup. (That way it can do the builds in parallel without the package  
cache initialization causing race conditions.)
