+First, let's clear up some terminology:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Host: This is your development system, usually based on a x64 or x86 CPU.</li>
+<li>Target: This is the target system you want LuaJIT to run on, e.g. Android/ARM.</li>
+<li>Toolchain: This comprises a C compiler, linker, assembler and a matching C library.</li>
+<li>Host (or system) toolchain: This is the toolchain used to build native binaries for your host system.</li>
+<li>Cross-compile toolchain: This is the toolchain used to build binaries for the target system. They can only be run on the target system.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
 The GNU Makefile-based build system allows cross-compiling on any host
-for any supported target, as long as both architectures have the same
-pointer size. If you want to cross-compile to any 32 bit target on an
-x64 OS, you need to install the multilib development package (e.g.
-<tt>libc6-dev-i386</tt> on Debian/Ubuntu) and build a 32 bit host part
