The tools/gen_test_char was invoked at build time, and it didn't
work for the cross compiling, so we built it with $BUILD_CC.

To make sure there was no side effect on the change, not adding this
patch, I did the test:

1. Built the native tools/gen_test_char on x86-64 host, and invoke
    it on that host;

2. Built the target tools/gen_test_char which arch was arm, and invoke
    it on the qemuarm;

3. Comparing the results, they were total the same;

Remove the 'tools' dir creation, it always existed. And it caused
gen_test_char unexpected rebuilt at do_install time.

Why not combine this with the 1.5.1 update so they are together?

Sau!
