According to CMake documentation[1]:
[CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH] is a list of directories that contain the
target environment.
[CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM] sets the default behavior for the
find_program command.
In most cases, find_program is used to search for an executable which
will then be executed, e.g. using execute_process or
add_custom_command. So in most cases an executable from the build host
is required, so setting CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM to NEVER is
normally preferred.
Since CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH is set to the target staging dir, and the
toolchain root dir, it will find target programs before the host ones.
An example of this problem is if you try to build antiblock from the
packages feed after llvm from the video feeds is built. Antiblock will
search for clang-format, pickup the target version, and fail to build.
