Yes, I've not really seen any issues in this area before.

The tree that holds the tools (https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools) doesn't seem to have any source, so I'm assuming it's unmodified. However, I've asked the question just incase...

One thing I have noticed is the kernel images I build are less than half the size of the 'official' ones.

Thanks for all the help you've given me on this :-)
