I think I've got this one figured out in the alphabetical builds.
Circular dependencies between bison and flex. Requires adding bison

Dan, by adding bison to /tools [ in what is otherwise svn-20060103 with
a bash-documentation cleanup per bug 1679 ] I get a clean build of bison
in chapter 6. That is, it no longer differs when rebuilt in place.
This means bison depends on itself to build cleanly, but NOT on flex,
IMHO.
(v) perl - I'll try creating /etc/hosts before the configure, but I
think this is probably cosmetic.
Still looks cosmetic. Creating /etc/hosts before configuring perl
means Config_heavy.pl no longer changes when perl is rebuilt in place,
but I can't detect any changes in any other part of perl, either against
rebuilding in place, or against the original build without /etc/hosts
present at configure time.
My third build of this cycle is still running, but it seems to me that
all of the low-hanging fruit has gone.
The prime remaining issues are the toolchain impurity, and (perhaps)
e2fsprogs (I'm hoping that fixing the toolchain might also fix e2fsck).
We've now got the current utf8 changes in svn, so I'm minded to build
my next cycle against svn plus bison in chapter 5, then compare that to
some sort of toolchain cleanup.
