I think this section needs a much better overhaul. We want to extend the description of the "host" directory to mention that it contains both the tools built for the host *and* the sysroot of the compiler (possibly reusing the wording of the current staging directory). And this "host" directory should be documented before "staging". And then, the description for staging should be simplified to just say it's a backward compatibility symlink pointing to the target toolchain sysroot in host/. Thanks! Thomas
