I must admit I'm far from being a auto* expert, and I'm quite confused
by the host vs. target auto* difference. So please excuse my silly
questions.

With your version, when a package sets FOO_AUTORECONF=YES, it will use
the autotools of the host (installed in $(HOST_DIR)), but these
autotools will be told to use the aclocal files in $(STAGING_DIR), and
therefore will only see the aclocal files for libtool and pkgconfig. Is
this what we want ?
