Allows you to extend a recipe so that it builds variants
of the software.
- Common variants for recipes exist such as "natives"
- like <filename>quilt-native</filename>,
- which is a copy of Quilt built to run on the build system;
- "crosses" such as <filename>gcc-cross</filename>,
- which is a compiler built to run on the build machine
- but produces binaries that run on the target
- <filename>MACHINE</filename>; "nativesdk", which targets
- the SDK machine instead of <filename>MACHINE</filename>;
- and "mulitlibs" in the form
+ Some examples of these variants for recipes from the
