FWIW, Jonathan's suggestion is the correct way to go if you want to adhere
to the principles of the build method. As much as possible, you want all
binaries in your final system built by the final toolchain. Moving file in
chapter 6 before binutils, even if there is no binary difference between
what is produced from the chapter 5 toolchain, goes against the principle of
the build method.
