[fpc-devel] Compiler subfolders: i386, x86

[Skybuck Flying]

Hello,

File "cpubase.pas" in compiler subfolder 'x86' contains following comment:

"Contains the base types for the i386 and x86-64 architecture"

So I guess both folders are needed to build i386 target...

I will try that and see how it goes ;)

Bye,
  Skybuck.
