Yes, that smells right.  Note that it's pretty easy to
specify with absolutely nothing new; so... (for a *host*)

  <GZIP-BOOT>/usr/local/bin/gzip</GZIP-BOOT>
  <TAR-BOOT>/usr/bin/tar</TAR-BOOT>
  <LD-BOOT>/usr/bin/ld</LD-BOOT>
  <CC-BOOT>/usr/bin/cc</CC-BOOT>

  <GZIP>/our/bin/gzip</GZIP>
  <TAR>/our/bin/tar</TAR>
  <LD>/our/bin/ld</LD>
  <CC>/our/bin/gcc</CC>

  <bootstrap>
    <constraint><dependency type="normal" name="ark-prereq-utils" /></constraint>
    <constraint><dependency type="normal" name="arkbase" /></constraint>
    <constraint><dependency type="normal" name="gzip" /></constraint>
    <constraint><dependency type="normal" name="gnu-tar" /></constraint>
    <constraint><dependency type="normal" name="binutils" /></constraint>
    <constraint><dependency type="normal" name="gcc" /></constraint>
  </bootstrap>

  <bootstrap><code lang="python">
      print "bootstrap done"
      OK = 1
  </code></bootstrap>

No?
