So if I understand it correctly: Grub & modules (i.e., everything that is run w/o OS) is target. Grub-emu (i.e., everythhing that is run in some OS) is host. We don't have "make-tools" in c-code nor asm. (This is host in some projects: tools that are first compiled and then used while com

According to a suggestion by an autoconf developer, I think we should change the build system in this way: - Use "host" to represent an environment in which utilities (tools) run. This is a natural interpretation of the meaning of "host" in autoconf. - Use "target" to represent a native environ
