what is  the difference between search-paths and native-search-path? The
manual describes search-paths at [1], but native-search-paths are only
named at [2] without any description.

“native-search-paths” are used when cross-building.  The arm eabi
cross-compiler, for example, declares CROSS_C_INCLUDE_PATH and
CROSS_LIBRARY_PATH as a native search path, because these are needed
when cross-building applications for the arm eabi target.

Thanks. Does this mean:

- native-search-paths are set when building a packages, They are constructed based on the native-inputs only.

- search-paths are set when installing a package, based on all inputs. These paths are *not* available then builiding the package.

Is this correct?

What happens if $KLM_PATH is defined as "native-search-path" by package A and defined as "search-path" by package B?
