With current sstate checksum generators accepting this will cause all
these "allarch" recipes to be "rebuilt" (from sstate) every time you change
MACHINE to something with different TUNE_PKGARCH.

Keeping it TUNE_PKGARCH means that you'll always get exactly the same
package from feed (not the last one "built" randomly changing when
builder builds different MACHINEs in a loop).
