They contain probed values +about system configuration, used for cross building the package. + +The probes currently need to run on the native architecture, so they +cannot be used for cross building. As a workaround, we store the results +in the built binary package and then manually copy them back to the +source package as needed. + +The process is currently experimental, and no commitment is made on long +term feasibility of this.
