Re: chost in makepkg.conf

gcc uses that variable to determine what kind of output to generate. Unless you know what you're doing, changing it is only going to break things.

Re: chost in makepkg.conf

It is the platform the toolchain is built for.  Even a small change (e.g. x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu to x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) can result in gcc trying to cross compile stuff which causes breakages...
