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.
