For very important projects I've either built my build system in such a
way that it only worked if the correct tools were installed on the build
host.  For less important projects I've simply kept a manifest of tools
in the version controlled text internals documentation for the project.

For all other projects I use GNU Autoconf et al and don't really care
what tools are used to build it.
