[ECOS] i386 questions

[Mike Friedrichs]

anyone,

i'm confused about ecos and porting to i386. on the ecos home page they
make reference to i386 as a supported target, but upon viewing posts, it
appears that people are building the port to i386. which is it.

i have found the words 'synthetic x86 linux' and synthetic i386' for
targets; what do these phrases mean.

assuming ecos has not been ported to i386, why has ecos been ported to
the 'Intel StrongArm family' and not the 'i386 family'.

thanks
