Please explain this line?

It seems to me with an external toolchain, the biggest overhead after
a make clean is the host tools (especially if you build the linux
kernel separately too). If you need python or some other big package
building the host stuff is a major time sink. It would be wonderful if
the host tools could also be external to the build like the toolchain.
I did not know they could be part of the external toolchain?

Thanks, Steve
