The following diff fixes the issue for me:

--- a/toolchain/Makefile
+++ b/toolchain/Makefile
@@ -74,7 +74,7 @@ endif

 # prerequisites for the individual targets
 $(curdir)/ := .config prereq
-$(curdir)//prepare = $(STAGING_DIR)/.prepared $(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/info.mk
+$(curdir)//prepare = $(STAGING_DIR)/.prepared
$(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/info.mk tools/install
 $(curdir)//compile = $(1)/prepare
 $(curdir)//install = $(1)/compile

If I'm understanding things correctly, this will make the
toolchain/prepare step depend on tools/install.  It did appear that
tools fully built before progressing to the toolchain compilation too,
as expected.  So I think it's the right idea, if not the right
implementation. :-)  Hopefully someone knowledgable about the build
can chime in and say one way or another.
