Indeed. But what that means is that anybody wanting to refer to the 
Kylix helpfiles on a non-x86 system will have problems. The only 
practical significance is that it's probably unwise for any of the 
FPC/Lazarus docs to simply say "works the same as Delphi/Kylix, qv": 
anything significant will have to be summarised.

Obviously this is a minor detail- nitpicking almost- since it assumes 
that people will still be running systems other than x86 in the future.
