Qt5 Configuration Question

I've been reading through the instructions for Qt5 (http://linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/stable-systemd/x/qt5.html), and there's one thing that I don't understand: for the case of Qt5 being installed in /usr, we are to create /etc/profile.d/qt5.sh containing the commands:

QT5DIR=/usr
export QT5DIR
pathappend $QT5DIR/bin

But isn't $QT5DIR/bin =  /usr/bin on the path anyway? Or does the pathappend command do something else?
Greetings,

Hans
