Nope, it's meant to run on the target.

A long-term goal of this is to try to build a libvirt-based system to run
a "VM-farm" rather than use a complete distro. Most probably, it will be
a proof-of-concept rather than a real solution, but hey, one never knows
before trying.

Of course, the QEMu package could be extended to run on host, so you
can run your images, but that would mean that a lot of packages would
need their host- counterparts, which is currently not the case.

Besides, it does not really make sense. Just create a new BR config which
targets your host, chroot into that (or build static). That's actually
what I'm doing, in fact! ;-)

Yann E. MORIN.
