+;; The 'target' field must be a valid GNU triplet as defined here:
+;; https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.68/html_node/Specifying-Target-Triplets.html.
+;; It is used for cross-compilation purposes.
+;;
+;; The 'system' field is the name of the corresponding system as defined in
+;; the (gnu packages bootstrap) module.  It can be for instance
+;; "aarch64-linux" or "armhf-linux".  It is used to emulate a different host
+;; architecture, for instance i686-linux on x86_64-linux-gnu, or armhf-linux
+;; on x86_64-linux, using the QEMU binfmt transparent emulation mechanism.
+;;
+;; The 'linux-architecture' is only relevant if the kernel is Linux.  In that
+;; case, it corresponds to the ARCH variable used when building Linux.
