No. libutil is a prerequisite for some libraries, so it is installed
before libc.

After first installing the new libc. Other things can easilty break if
prerequisites are not installed in the correct order. There may be no
correct order for the current building scheme (there are too many old
utilities which may be corrupted by installing new shared libraries).

Installing the xinstall built by buildworld, with itself, would be safe.
Similarly for the new libc -- install it using the new xinstall using
something like
cd /usr/src/libc
MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/somehwere INSTALL=/somehwere/.../xinstall install
Simpler method: build and install the host xinstall static (NOSHARED=yes)
before running installworld. It's too late to do this after installworld
corrupts the host's includes and libutil.a.
