These are too complicated at this moment. I do think that a verbal
explanation of the directory structure (target Linux as an example) is
more helpful.

This also could be a problem due to the dependencies. Is there a
walkthrough with the exact set of commands based on a vanilla ubuntu
system?

For example, you mentioned sysroot. I am not familiar with it. An
exact sequence of commands should be helpful as the goal here is not
to learn sysroot.
