Hello,
I am trying to understand what's the purpose of host sysroot (in
/build/tmp/sysroots/) ?
I see it contains a set of libraries too. But for cross compiling an
application in host isn't all we need is toolchain and target sysroot
? If so, than what's the purpose of host sysroot ?
Thank you,
Ran

there is more to it than just cross toolchains. Build system is building
some components for the build host itself and does not rely on the host
to provide them, they are also hosted in the host sysroot.
