These are architecture independent things like scripts/graphics/fonts.

These are machine specific things (you must have built for three

These are software built for specific architectures and specific

These are parts of the SDK/toolchain (targetted at an i686 SDKMACHINE)

These are "native" software designed to run on the system you're
