5125 A space-separated list (filter) of tools on the build host
5126 that should be allowed to be called from within build tasks.
5127 Using this filter helps reduce the possibility of host
5128 contamination.
5129 If a tool specified in the value of
5130 <filename>HOSTTOOLS</filename> is not found on the
5131 build host, the OpenEmbedded build system produces
5132 an error and the build is not started.

5149 A space-separated list (filter) of tools on the build host
5150 that should be allowed to be called from within build tasks.
5151 Using this filter helps reduce the possibility of host
5152 contamination.
5153 Unlike
5154 <link linkend='var-HOSTTOOLS'><filename>HOSTTOOLS</filename></link>,
5155 the OpenEmbedded build system does not produce and error
5156 if a tool specified in the value of
5157 <filename>HOSTTOOLS_NONFATAL</filename> is not found on the
5158 build host.
5159 Thus, you can use <filename>HOSTTOOLS_NONFATAL</filename>
5160 to filter optional host tools.
