meson define host,target and build the same way as autotools do.
meson will fetch information about the build machine from the environment
and host/target is specified in the cross-file. The intention with this
statement is to specify the endianness for the target system. Is that
information available in oe?

 From mesonbuild.com:
target machine is the machine on which the compiled binary's output will run
(this is only meaningful for programs such as compilers that, when run,
produce object code for a different CPU than what the program is being 
run on)
