What we really want is something like this in cross.bbclass:

MULTIMACH_TARGET_SYS = "${BUILD_ARCH}${BUILD_VENDOR}-${BUILD_OS}"
PN .= "-${TRANSLATED_TARGET_ARCH}"

so that WORKDIR gets changed. I've not tested what this does to the
build though.

Also, looking at sstate.bbclass it does:

    elif bb.data.inherits_class('cross', d):
        bb.data.setVar('SSTATE_PKGARCH', bb.data.expand("${BUILD_ARCH}_${TUNE_PKGARCH}", d), d)
        bb.data.setVar('SSTATE_MANMACH', bb.data.expand("${BUILD_ARCH}_${MACHINE}", d), d)

so it should be sticking BUILD_ARCH into the sstate file name directly.
This should mean you can't use 32 bit sstate files on a 64 bit system
and vice versa already?

Cheers,
