Well, honestly, to keep things consistent with TARGET_PATH...

We can also wonder why TARGET_PATH contains $(HOST_DIR)/usr/sbin? or
whether it is needed/used in TARGET_PATH?
I can do the other way, removing $(HOST_DIR)/usr/sbin from both
TARGET_PATH and HOST_PATH.

Also, TARGET_PATH and HOST_PATH store pretty much the same things...
do we need 2 distincts variables?

BTW, AFAICS nothing is installed in $(HOST_DIR)/bin...
And some binaries from $(HOST_DIR)/usr/sbin which could be used by
some post-build scripts, but I doubt HOST_PATH or TARGET_PATH are
correctly exported when post-build scripts are executed.

Agreed.
