# Set up a known host environment, providing known versions of all required
# prerequisites, built from source.

# This script serves a similar purpose to the temporary chroot system in
# Linux From Scratch chapter 5, isolating the new build from the host system
# so information from the host doesn't accidentally leak into the target.

# This script populates a build/host directory with busybox and symlinks to
# the host's toolchain, then adds the other packages (genext2fs, e2fsprogs,
# squashfs-tools, distcc, and qemu) that might be needed to package and run
# a system image.  This lets the rest of the build run with the $PATH pointing
# at the new build/host directory and nothing else.

# The tools provided by this stage are as similar as possible to the ones
# provided in the final system image.  The fact the system can build under
# these tools is a good indication that it should be able to rebuild itself
# under itself.

# This script is optional.  The build runs fine without it, assuming the
# host has all the necessary packages installed and doesn't have any extra
# packages (such as libtool, pkg-config, python...) that might provide
# false information to autoconf or attach themselves as dependencies to
# the newly generated programs.  (In practice, this can be quite fiddly.)

# If we're not recording the host command lines, then populate a directory
# with host versions of all the command line utilities we're going to install
# into root-filesystem.  When we're done, PATH can be set to include just this
# directory and nothing else.

# This serves three purposes:
#
# 1) Enumerate exactly what we need to build the system, so we can make sure
#    root-filesystem has everything it needs to rebuild us.  If anything is
#    missing from this list, the resulting root-filesystem probably won't have
#    it either, so it's nice to know as early as possible that we actually
#    needed it.
#
# 2) Quick smoke test that the versions of the tools we're using can compile
#    everything from source correctly, and thus root-filesystem should be able
#    to rebuild from source using those same tools.
#
# 3) Reduce variation from distro to distro.  The build always uses the
#    same command line utilities no matter where we're running, because we
#    provide our own.

# Use the new tools we build preferentially, as soon as they become
# available.
