15  <para os="a">During the building of the cross-compile tools you will need to
16  set a few variables that will be dependent on your particular needs.
17  The first variable will be the triplet of the host machine, which will be
18  put into the <envar>CLFS_HOST</envar> variable. To account for the
19  possibility that the host and target are the same arch, as cross-compiling
20  won't work when host and target are the same, part of the triplet needs to
21  be changed slightly to add "cross". Set <envar>CLFS_HOST</envar> using the
22  following command:</para>
