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

These are machine specific things (you must have built for three
different machines).

These are software built for specific architectures and specific
optimisations within those architectures.

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

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

Hope that helps!
