It's a cross-toolchain.
I know.
Using a directory like this is the established
practice for GNU cross-toolchains (and also used by some other
cross-toolchains) and the consensus among Fedora packagers working on
cross-compilation is that this is the way to go. Unfortunately, the
guideline which was supposed to formally codify it never made it to an FPC
vote because of process issues.
I think I've seen %_exec_prefix/%_target before (I can imagine that trying
to change that might result in symlink-hell), but a root-level directory is
strange. That one is also "established practice"?
And this hasn't passed FPC and neither FESCo?
