                     specifies additional arguments passed to the "sed" command.
                     The sed command alters any paths in configuration scripts
                     that have been set up during compilation.
-                    This alteration ensures the commands are correct for use
-                    when installed into the sysroot and called by the build
-                    processes of other recipes.
+                    Inheriting this class results in all paths in these scripts
+                    being changed to point into the
+                    <filename>sysroots/</filename> directory so that all builds
+                    that use the script will use the correct directories
+                    for the cross compiling layout.
