Most CPUs aren't in self-hosting systems.

Yes they are. Embedded applications outnumber top end computers by an order of magnitude.

  • Perhaps he means that they are not generally self-hosted, in that we generally tend to cross-compile for the embedded hardware, rather than compiling on the embedded hardware.

    • That's precisely what I meant, and I don't understand how it could be misunderstood if you know what "self-hosting" means in this context.
