New review comment by classabbyamp on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/36863#discussion_r858882404 Comment: for crossbuilds, hostmakedeps are installed for the host architecture (e.g. x86_64), while makedeps are installed for the target architecture (e.g. aarch64). Things needed during the build process like headers or shared libraries are usually going to be makedeps. Build tools and similar things, on the other hand, are usually going to be hostmakedeps, because they need to be able to be run by the build process.
