Yes. In gcc terms an architecture refers to the whole run-time
environment, not just the processor. When you build a compiler for a
Linux system the compiler knows that glibc will provide certain
functionality, and hence the generated code can make calls to e.g.
__dso_handle. Instead for an eCos PC target you need to configure and
build a compiler for raw i386-elf, which means the compiler will make
no such assumptions about the run-time environment.
