I think the main difference is indeed the different architecture. There
is also the fact that the JSC i386 EWS runs the tests natively, but the
mips and armv7 EWSes cross-compile and run the tests on a set of remote
devices.

I guess it's not defined anywhere indeed. The scripts that start the
queues for the arm and mips EWSes define a bunch of env variables to
point to the cross-compiler and also add a few options in
JSCTESTS_OPTIONS, such as a  --remote-config-file and --memory-limited.
I can share these scripts with you if you need more details.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
