Description
We should be able to modify the user's path such that the cross-tools get used when they should and the host's tools get used when they should. Other build tools like yocto/oe and buildroot do this without issue.
Removing the need to create a new user should make scripting a build less painful.

OE actually creates an entirely new system, kind of like the cross-tools in the main book, but even more extreme, and then throws away the user's environment to make a new one. If you want any of your env settings to carry over into this new env, you have to set which ones you want via BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE or similar mechanisms.
So trying to not have a separate user is likely going to be much much more difficult. Since we're manually making the build (unlike OE), just setting up a user who's configured to build correctly is probably the easiest way to do things.
