Vapour.

Yes. This is true. But I now leverage cross compilation where it's
actually useful.

Nobody here wants to bootstrap from Solaris.

You are posting late at night. This probably explains your confusion and
ranting. I'll try to say it again in different words so you can understand.

 - The paths inside that conditional block take effect when a native
   compiler.

 - The paths inside that conditional block take effect when a sysrooted
   compiler (cross or not cross).

Now, who is it that doesn't understand the code?

Yes, which means the above referenced block of code will take effect
because it's a sysrooted compiler. Get it?

Please also keep in mind a sysrooted compiler doesn't have to be cross!

Now. Let's all sit back, and enjoy the show while you explain your way out
of this one!
