 ?Can you clarify for me what this will change ?

 ?Currently from reading this I think it should probably be _TARGET, not _HOST.

 ??"The system against which the software being built will run on. This
 ?actor only exists, or rather has a meaning, when the software being
 ?built may interact specifically with a system that differs from the
 ?one it's being executed on (our host). This is the case for compilers,
 ?debuggers, profilers and analyzers and other tools in general."

 ?Cheers,
