It's needed and can't be removed, so make it clear where it's needed.

what's the motivation? this seems like a small thing that makes it easier to work with bootstrap with no downsides other than a bit of easy to maintain code. or is there more to it?

It says Make a symbolic link so we can use a consistent directory in the documentation., which doesn't really make sense as I explain in the PR description.

How does it make things easier? The host target is always the same and they are at the same directory level. You just need to type the first couple of letters of the host triple and press TAB instead of writing 'host'.

that was just a vague feeling, but it doesn't matter, I just remembered that we rely on this for the rust analyzer config:

rust/src/etc/rust_analyzer_settings.json

Line 21 in e561499

"${workspaceFolder}/build/host/rustfmt/bin/rustfmt",

I use build/host all the time. Please don't remove it for literally no reason, lmao.

Nice. It seems more useful than "writing consistent docs". I will revert the removal and update the doc.
