  Ouch, we forgot something: there may be a HOST_FOO_PRE_PATCH_HOOKS, 
HOST_FOO_PATCH or HOST_FOO_POST_PATCH_HOOKS that is different from its 
non-host equivalent... Perhaps there should be a check that they are the 
same (or the host version is not defined).

  I would do this before touching the stamp file.

  Why did you move this down? It was better when it was close to the rest 
of the source stuff.

  Whitespace seems to be a bit messed up here. Or it could just be the 
mixing of tabs and spaces.

  Err, $(PKG)_DIR is used in a lot of places: barebox, uboot, linux, 
ocf-linux, rtai, xenomai, bash, busybox, host-dbus, dhcp, dmalloc, 
dnsmasq, fbv, file, hostapd, ... OK I'm tired of typing all this, just do
git grep '[A-Z0-9]_DIR\b' -- \*.mk | sed 
's/\(TARGET\|HOST\|STAGING\|DL\)_DIR//g' | grep '[A-Z0-9]_DIR\b'

  I think these should be fixed up first in separate patches (as far as 
possible). It's not always clear whether they should be changed into the 
SRCDIR or BUILDDIR.
