Allow the build process to find host binaries during the host-symlinks target when
cross-building on non-FreeBSD systems. Whilst most non-FreeBSD systems have all
the needed tools in /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin (the final
path added by host-symlinks itself), Homebrew for macOS on Arm defaults to
/opt/homebrew/bin, other more niche systems may also deviate and users may
expect tools in a customised PATH to be picked up, unlike on FreeBSD where we
want to ensure everything comes from base. In particular, (un)xz are needed
from Homebrew on macOS, and thus cannot be found on Arm without this.
Note that non-FreeBSD builds enforce BUILD_WITH_STRICT_TMPPATH, and so the
actual main build steps will still use a sanitised PATH.

FreeBSD Source:
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7), config(8), FreeBSD handbook on building userland, and Handbook for kernels for more information, including setting make(1) variables.
