I think the build / host / target are quite easy to understand:
"Build" is where the program is compiled.
"Host" is where the program will run.
"Target" is where the program produces code for.
Thus, "target" makes only sense for compilers and similar stuff.
In Mingw-cross-env, we have the following situation:
Normal packages:
build = Unix
host = Windows
Native packages (e.g. pkg-config):
build = Unix
host = Unix
GCC, Binutils, NSIS:
build = Unix
host = Unix
target = Windows
That's it. I hope this summary helps to make things more clear.

As far as I understand, Qt's "platform" is "build" and Qt's
"xplatform" is "host". But I could be wrong in that regard.
