 > This commit reworks the creation of those directories by having the
 > package/pkg-generic.mk code ensure that the build directory, target
 > directory, host directory, staging directory and binaries directory
 > exist before they are needed.

 > Two new targets, host-finalize and staging-finalize are added in the
 > main Makefile to create the compatibility symlinks for host and
 > staging directories. They will be extended later with additional logic
 > for per-package directories.

 > Thanks to those changes, the global "dirs" target is entirely removed.

Committed to next, thanks.
