This update replaces the half-baked --arch logic with the use of $CFLAGS to pick compiler flags, on the grounds that it makes a lot more sense for the build system to pick flags than for pseudo to try to guess what they should be; this should allow pseudo to at least compile for targets, and possibly run on them. This doesn't solve the problem of guessing how to forcibly build the 32-bit variant on hosts, because we really don't have a general solution for that. There's no idiom for "given this set of compiler flags and this architecture, what flags would you use to request a 32-bit compile instead?" So we basically ignore that for now. If someone comes along trying to use the build system to build pseudo-native on a 64-bit host that also supports 32-bit binaries and isn't x86, we will revisit this.

Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with DISTRO = "") and contains only emulated machine support.
