                 access to the library itself and its associated headers.
                 The way this access is accomplished is by populating sysroot
                 with files.
-                One sysroot exists per "machine" for which the image is
-                being built.
-                In practical terms, this means a sysroot exists for the target
-                machine, and a sysroot exists for the build host.
+                Each recipe has two sysroots in its work directory, one for
+                target files
+                (<filename>recipe-sysroot</filename>) and one for files that
+                are native to the build host

+                This processing means, for example, a native tool would have
